Young Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are emotionally affected by images from Israel’s war on Gaza.
According to a recent survey by the UNICEF, these children were already suffering from depression and anxiety because of poor living conditions. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from an educational institution where some are receiving help to cope.
An Israeli air strike on a UN-run school sheltering displaced Palestinians at the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more, according to a doctor at al-Shifa Hospital.
According to CNN, the Israeli Defense Forces allege the Central Jabalya Battalion took control of civilian buildings, adding collapsed tunnels were partly a reason for the destruction caused by the strike on Tuesday.
“I carried a body and another decapitated body with my own hands,” a Gazan boy said at the site.
At least 9,488 Palestinians including 3,900 children have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since Oct. 7, the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza said on Saturday.
“There are 15 martyrs and the number is expected to increase,” Mohammad Abu Selmeyah, who is also an official in the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave, said.
During the conflict, Israel has consistently claimed it’s targeting Hamas militants following the Oct. 7 attack on the Israeli kibbutz, Be’eri kibbutz.
Seven-year-old Lina and her family are sleeping on the floor of a tent outside al-Aqsa hospital, in central Gaza.
They were forced to flee their home in Jabaliya in the north of the Gaza Strip when the war between Hamas and Israel broke out after Hamas’ murder of 1,200 people in southern Israel. Now displaced, Lina and her siblings spend their time searching for food to buy, queueing for water and playing games. The Guardian spent one day on the 9 November with Lina to see how children are surviving in Gaza. She told film-maker Majdi Fathi how she wishes she could sleep comfortably at night, without the sound of rockets and ambulances.
