ah, i i have i me okay. and you're in the strain to day. what is trauma doing to young people in gaza? the majority of girls is 800000 children, have only ever no life under the israeli lap. locate. and a new report reveals the extent of the mental crisis bearing aah. trapped is a recent report by save the children in this are port save. the children found that

80 percent of children and young people garza suffer from depression, sadness and fear. some other key findings, 9 out of 10 children feel less safe when they're alone. caregivers are also facing mental health issues. 9 out of 10 caregivers in garza feel unhappy and anxious. let's take a closer look at that situation with our guest thought to jasa. hello, ines and jason. so good to have all 3 of you in our conversation today. let me remind everybody dot jasa who you are on what you do. please greet. ask dream audience with afternoon or evening from 971. this is yesterday. i'm a psychiatrist. and david garza community maintenance business. you all are our pleasure having you in asked. welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself to our audience around the world. hello everyone. this is in us better than and i'm, i'm the project manager of we're not numbers a project. the euro made the human rights monitor yet to have you and jason,

welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to our viewers. hi, good evening everyone. my name is jason lee, the country director for safety chalk in the occupied palestinian territory and i am calling you tonight from jerusalem, right? get to have it all, all, all right, so everybody who's watching right now, you've seen how our panel is, you know, their expertise. if you have a question for them or comment about children garza how they are managing or really how they are not managing the comment section is right here for you. jason. how do you survey the mental health of children who live in chrissy situations? pretty much all year out. yes, a look. we 1st did a report and 5 years ago, after after the 10 year anniversary of the globe garza brocade and we wanted to see has the situation improved? has it gotten worse, particularly with the, the escalation last year in may, and, of course, the global covert lighting pandemic. so this year we did

a refresher. we spoke to about $500.00 children and $160.00 caregivers. just to get a pulse arm to get a sense of how things were and you shared some of the disturbing reports and the findings of the report where again the situation has deteriorated. we see that children are having greater senses of anxiety, phoenix, or depression of sadness and the resilience of children and the caregivers to cope is decreasing. and of course, you know, this is against the backdrop of ever increasing cycles of violence. instability and the economic deprivation that we see because of the blockade in gaza. yes, i am looking at a piece that you wrote about mental health. a year ago, a year ago this month, a new mental health crisis is raging in garza recent bombings. my israel cause more than just physical trauma and remind everybody this is, this is a, an opinion piece from last year, not from this year, but you could see national jasa that they were problems. what are you seeing now

with young people and live camps and, and with that, i guess or you know, from a thank if, but ling, this, i tell you something more surprising, which is that in 2014, that is about 8 years from now. that we're all in effect cheating or that came out of designate in those. but i'm dr. wiggling and disappeared that the problems will be only related to the throw matic events that that population and guys us to put in with what exposed for. but also with the law says with the destruction of the buildings with the ongoing iteration and socio economic conditions. now that continued to be the case for years later. and in 2021 if, if they did that so as it's twan and the are that because you said, but her, i would like to go back with the main i think key finding as you have what have you presented in there that he bought at the beginning of this event that 90 percent of the children are simply but i feel safe when data away from that. i think this is

just, it says it's odd when, when more than one of the last attacks 90 percent, the children and the not really safe that you know we, we are no, i did a study, you know, we, what was of the day by a family that the family has a one on the go, they went all and that the family was exposed to torment the given, but they decided to bring quality. they go to the shop, you know, and the reason is that there a girl has been working and she was above 11. you know, been looking for that. there was a big, a lot of shame with families to thought it planned it that, that adds a lot of attention to the mother in law. they can deal with this holiday kind of leadership. the sheets in the morning with is not exactly. sometimes there's a problem with what that us atrocity now the interesting thing is that the boy who was 7 now was having some sleep disturbances. and what he used to do is just to sleep under his bed, not so we were talking to the fathers, the father and mother,

you know, why don't you also bring your child to the trauma. now the only concern was that, you know, most of the children in our neighborhoods have similar sh. in all condition. they have similar problems with feared with and saying his was sleeping in time. why we shouldn't bring our child or one son. so it felt clearly that there are a lot of hidden ones. if you could save that out of problems, i mentioned some of that given that come into it not come to the surface. and i think the key point here is the feeling of safety that is lacking. that other key important issue which is that the parents, the family, the structure that was mainly helping and supporting their children is now within week out and week of the sources that people had is, are getting weaker and no matter out as, as i was just going to say story and i can really emphasize that because we've speak to a lot of children and we see this recurring pattern where children report being

afraid of being away from the parents. i mean, i spoke to a 13 year old boy and for a 13 year old boy to actually admit that he constantly feels afraid when he's away from his mother and his feelings of anxiety, even when at school he doesn't feel safe is worried about is there going to be another attack, is there gonna be another round of violence? is his home going to be though when he gets back is his family and friends going to be there? so i think, you know, this is the, the impact, the things that we don't see. i mean, often during an escalation, we can see the physical injuries that children sustain and we can treat them. but this is this deep seeded anxiety, the deep seated fears that permeate through a child's life and carries through. i think this is the danger and this is what the report port shows that this prolonged exposure to conflict to violence, to economic deprivation. the ability of children to cope in the families is continued being eroded in as i want to show our audience the web page for your organization. because you work with and for young people who are able to express

and tell their stories, that i won't be able to see this so that they can go and follow you in the future. we are not numbers. so that is the organization the and as is part of earlier, we spoke to emily who told us some think so stark of so shocking that i wanted you to have a listen to it and then respond. known that you work with young people from garza and so you know, children stories, young people, stories so intimately has emily fast b, it's really light blockade in garza impacts palestinian children practically from birth. you see higher rates of neonatal disorders and congenital birth. the facts when compared to there is really counterparts. and there's also much higher infant mortality rate. and then there's also a tremendous psychological tool that this blockade is placing on palestinian children are currently 55 percent report living with some sort of post traumatic

stress disorder. and about 40 percent of palestinian young people report having seriously contemplated suicide at some point in their life. actually this, this happened, this happens a lot in gaza and not only do you think what happens back in the bus, i actually wrote about about, about committing suicide and deeper. but in order to get them society, because of the situation that we are living. and we are thinking about how to simeon both young people who are living in a siege for more than 15 years in which they lived for foreign military effects. they lived them, they, they had the feelings of fear, did they have the feeling of not being able to protect themselves or their, their children, their children. so the fear in the eyes of use of these parents so that there

wouldn't be able to protect them simply because there is no place to go to. so when we talk about about those young men, there are, there are lots of reasons that would be such a thing where we talk about they would in there are lots of graduates. we live in a high edition area and we got which is which is isolated from the whole world. a lot of people, a lot of graduate and the smallest amount of jobs. there are no jobs. jobs are rare, opportunities are very, very not available or the time there are the young men had, have to, to find jobs. they have to provide for them for themselves, for their families. they have to take the themselves, their families, and they can do this. so sometimes they would, they would just reach

a point in which they cannot, they cannot just deal with life and they're not numbers. actually, we are trying to, to deal with this when a number of the projects in which we, we tell the story is a bit them behind it. the numbers in the news in which we threaten young palestinians to, to read our stories of what really happens with them in a way that the world would understand by we are not numbers. we're trying to isolate the earth to break the isolation. and those, those young people are living by which we allow them to talk about it, what really happens or with them here in garza, he by the bad side, the good side, bright side there that are visions there. they're sad moments about everything that happens with them. on youtube, i've got a really interesting question from one of our view as to perhaps jasa and in as you can help with this artist, has natal says how long would it take for the children garza to be rehabilitated?

and will this change their mental health as they grow? yes sir, you can start 1st as a medical professional. and then in, as you can tell us, is if, if that rehabilitation, not that growing away from the, the situation that you're in, is that even possible? yes or you didn't, you stop, you know, in 28 $29.00 we started, the authors will be caught crosses or sponsored plan. and this is a response for the 1st attack that happened in 2008 mine a teams of her man and woman. both equally just what was being the most effective their houses and they, me, it pulled a 3 in the intervening with lots of oh, years later in 2014, to support like 5 years later, one of our psychologists. she wasn't as she is a woman and was walking to the same head is tenuous, presided when suddenly a young girl just started to run towards her and told her but audio missed what

audio map i am be waiting for, you know, do you remember me from the 1st attack of the previous attack. so mentioned that girl, you know, her house was this sudden 2000 mine was also again davis floated 1014 and she is fleeting, st. bucket and life. now in order for our, you know, coping mechanisms and off or healing in all of that, just thought our filipino walk into the city of stability and all that. we need the children to few say that they are in the caring environment that they are secure, given that they can think of was at the future that they can, you know, em back their, their lives and that they can achieve something. now i am fortunate they don't of those things. i'm available in garza, for example, you know, until now, just few weeks ago to destroy the houses they started that ability to process and that all of it for the houses that were destroy the ball tube over even though the other issue which is like an old thinks death to remind people of this moment the events continue to be there and soft dawns that get flying in the skies every now

and then we hit about the tensions that that is a possibility of another attack. you know, the whole can, he talks about this, what can we do that people who leave their houses or that space people to continue to be an alert at that the moment can be displaced by from the 1000 edwards, like book it's best 1000 books in 110000 people in 2000 did it 21. so that kind of fab staying on the edge. you know, that there is no, but that also that is not. that is not even that big difference between life and death. you know, because you can buy at any moment, anything that has been more than 60, more than 60 children passed away and 20 or 21. those to them had their classmates . they went to schools though susan about around them. they felt the absence they know wendy, that have done other children with, with one but so at we need 1st to feel securely need that children to feel that the thing is fine. and then we need to think about the normal gum implications of being

contin. explore settlement example when parents report that inability, that the children are okay, they're not feeling well, they are not safe. it means also the other hand that they will not be able to study well. the other academic performance is that they could be as good as, as, as they used to be their idea about the futures that to be good. it's not big to be a very nice one. it might be a little me, one of the jasa in you detail this so beautifully. all of your life as a child is impacted your future you, i'm patient ambitions, your hopes. and as i'm going to show you something on which is from the save that sure to report trapped. and on this graph, it looked at a sample of children and asked them about their feelings. so the light orange column is the year 2018. the deep bright, dark orange column is the year 2022 inch year. you can see the gap between

you that the feelings are worse. so to children or young people with this under the age of 15 were asked, are you feeling sat in depressed, more people this year than before? are you feeling feelings of grief? more people will issue than before. the fearful. yes. more than before. tense, nervous? yes. yes. the idea that young people should have these awful feelings. they're part of life anyway, but in such concentration in us. what is that like? i just, i just want to, to, to comment on this and to build on, on what the 30 s at has just said. because that children who have who have been living these feelings before as the fear or the are being attacked early on of these feelings. really not. they don't really lose such feelings because i mean, some, i know someone who in 2014, i mean if it

a 2nd because of strep, who was just because of because of the thing, because it was very brutal back at the time. he wouldn't be able to stay alone. he wouldn't go to bed by himself. he wouldn't agree to walk in the darkness by him 7th day. he wouldn't agree to do these things. also i know, i know, for instance, on someone, someone i know a young young man, a young man who was starting his life. he was, he was, he's a worker and he started to build his, his more room for his family. and with the help of his, he was, he was man and he managed to do this. but when, because it 900 started, he didn't, wasn't able to work. but then with the, with the aggression, every time it happens during all these years, every time he built his house,

he keeps losing, his cell is destroyed. and you can imagine how hard this is on the embed mentality. i mean, he worked hard to build his own house with his own future, but his children and then all of a sudden, just in one night and it just all went up. so you can, i can, i can understand that such numbers statistics. moving to this amounts in 2, in 2022. i'm not surprising because this is what really happened. so jason, i'm thinking these numbers. the reason this report is if it's so so shocking is because the numbers are so high for children who are in distress. and so you can't put out that report without saying now, what are we going to do about it? which is where i want to pivot our conversation and this is what i want to go. i'm going to start with dr. ishmael because i'm really curious about what level of services and help won't be available for young people who need it. first of all,

his doctor ishmael. and then jason, please pick up of the back of him. if they don't give it a try to work and i hadn't got dave with couldn't help but you know, i got a project. i had been a minute or so i had them, i should a c, a u a he had yes, thanks for that. look i, i would agree. i think one of the 1st things that we need to do is to make sure that the triggers are the stresses, are removed. a lot of the work that saved the children dance and we see that children are resilient, they can recover. there is to hope for them and they have dreams and hopes like every child in the world. but in order for that to happen,

the stresses have to be removed. so the constant violence that surrounds their lives, the conflict, the economic deprivation, which means the blockade should be lifted. and of course, equally important is the provision and access to critical mental health and psychosocial support. so this means that the ability to see social workers, psychologist therapists for themselves, continue treatment, but also their caregivers because parents are also affected. i mean, i report shows that the parents themselves express this incredible degree of sadness, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness because they see what their children are going through . they see the physical manifestations and they feel powerless, and unable to do anything about it. i jason, an ass and wasa, i'm gonna ask you, i'm going to push in to ask these questions from our audience very quickly so i can include more of them at jason. this one is an atom, wiley, why isn't? first is a situation whether children are living in

a crisis. why isn't this regarded as a war crime and treated as such? jason, just briefly. so this is a difficult question. i mean, there are global accountant, lead accountability mechanisms that exist, and one of them is the protecting children in conflict and save the children were doing a lot of work to actually make sure that these impacts the violations that occur on the rights of children. that documented, and they actually been presented to the united nations security council to make sure that all duty barrows have an obligation and these are obligations. it's not about what a state wants to do or likes to do, but it's an obligation to protect children. so these are the existing global accountant, lead me accountability mechanism that we need to strengthen, to ensure that children are kept safe, especially in conflict. i am, i also want to end on, on a note because a lot of the students are asking, how can we help, how can we link up with families? i'm going to, if i can't share them with you in this show, i will make sure that i will read out all of i guess handle so that they,

you can help them and follow them as well. but also, what kind of activities, what practical methods are there to help children who are in distress, who are living in fear these what some people told us earlier, wanted to contribute to the show. there are organizations providing drama therapy and our therapy for children, as well as providing counseling in schools. but resources are scarce because facilities were bombed. and while the occupation and blockade persist, it's very difficult for children to recover from the trauma. because the root cause is of the trauma ongoing. look, it is the cause of this endless maintenance crisis and international community must the pressure israel immediately lift its closure of garza to ensure that future generations of children kind of been more hopeful and have more dignified lives in . as i have to show our audience something that i found on the we are not numbers

a twitter account, have a look here. everybody. and this is so important. sorrow generates creativity to siblings, rama an arm at abraham and their colleague use if akhil have invented a rescue robot, they did this because they have seen people buried in rubble before look at their faces. look at what they doing. isn't this incredible? is this part of the healing in us? is a how young people hill? yes, it is actually in gaza. all the resources, everything is looked on on the on them all the doors are slung, but somehow they find their own ways. somehow they try to create. they try to find a way in order to express themselves in order to show the way that we can grow. and this, in this thread that you just saw,

the young men were able to invent this tool in which they can, they can help people to go out of the rubble. now we have a story like over they know, like i'm not sure if you know her, but then it was 22 years old. she was, she was, she was an english you then she and i love it. sure. had you cher. but then in 2021, she lost one need to people of her family. she left her mother, her sister, brother. not any shop by the way, the right at the end of the show. but i don't want, i want to know what, what i'm good sort of what i was going to say that is that he was under there for 1111 hours and they couldn't find her. so after 11 i was she was, she was able to be to be taken out, but i think that young men here are young but able to do this. all right. amazing. and i thank you so much. one incredible story to end on. and i stopped after jason,

you chief commenters as well. really appreciate you. i put all of my guest handles on my twitter account and you can follow them that i'm watching. i'll see you next time. take care. ah ah. with sun, sand and such a wise postcard image hides the visa basil of the past and future. these island power. when i, when 8th, may, the locals determined to keep a y e a y on al jazeera talk to al jazeera. we ask you be more

specific, how many folks are you asking for? and what kind of military equipment we listen, ask the people of cuba in the street. if there is a difference between donald trump and joe bite for them. it's exciting. we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera ah with
