no right now, americans are really mad joe biden, they're really fed up with tons of gas prices are highest, a better been going to purchase or cost you more than it ever has. they're still shortages now, joe biden says that's because of the war and ukraine. he says it's because of the panoramic and supply chain issue. americans might understand that, but they don't necessarily care about that because their wages, because of inflation or not going as far as they used to. so a family that was just, we came by is now making really tough decisions about buying gas, buying food, just the essential. so americans are very angry about that. now americans, a lot of americans, we want to be very angry about this decision and democrats are going to say, look, the only way to change that is if you keep democrats in power and you add on to our majority, now this could potentially fire up the base so that they are able to get more and more people to vote if that issue breaks through. but it's going to be interesting to see because sure you are,

you're competing with the financial needs of your family and a procedure that you care about. maybe it's not, you're not as passionate about, and that has been the, the thing in this country, republicans who are very anti abortion rights. this is for many of them. they're number one issue a voted on it when it comes to state law makers, governors, president, senators, congressmen for democrats because it's been protected right for almost 15 years. it really isn't one of the top issues. i'll tell you climate change is way more important. but now about that was when you can get an abortion anywhere in the country, that is no longer the case. so we will probably have some impact on the upcoming mid terms and obviously on the next presidential race governorships are going to be more interesting to see because these are very read state, meaning republican leaning states that have adopted some of the most restrictive laws. and it's also not going to be settled law because mississippi this law says they're exemptions for, for fetal abnormalities or medical issues. a lot of these dates are not allowing

that they're just simply saying, no abortions at all. so is the court going to have to come back and verify exactly what exemptions are allowed or not? the bottom line is, this is going to throw the whole issue of abortion into the very topic of conversation. because as of today, there are women right now who had appointments and some of the states to get in abortion today, that will simply not be able to do that. so as i said in my story, they now have a they have a decision to make. do they want to keep a child that they don't believe they can afford or they don't want to? they want to try and find the money which is expensive to 3. most people don't have paid sick leave or paid family leave. who want to try and find the money to go to a state that allows it. or as we saw before, ro there word back we were clinic. there were very dangers for, for abortions performed. do they want to risk their own health in order to get rid of this child? so this, i know we say monumental decisions are often,

but really this is the very definition of an earth shaking monumental change in this american culture. you mentioned that the popularity issue with joe biden to speak with both democrats and republicans. you get a sense of how they feel this is going to play out. so we say in the balance of power between the 2. 2 what they do, but they also, they also realize november still a little bit far further away. people see gas prices every day. they won't necessarily see the impacts of abortions every day. so, democrats are counting on this because the polls were looking very bad for them as far as possibly losing the house and maybe losing the senate. so they're going to try and use this and keep people fired up about this. because right now, people are very impassioned, but november's pretty far away. all right, thanks so much patty call hang reporting from washington

d. c. were continuing to look at those live pictures reaction coming in to that decision taken by the u. s. supreme court, which took that very dramatic step of overturning the landmark 1973 row, 1st his wife boy, and bring him all the off out the stream. and this addition of took the al jazeera will take you on a journey with us to touch ours diaper. wildlife will be joined by a marine environmentalist and also a conservationist. and we'll be discussing the impact the potential uncontrolled development. good have on these diverse what like piece is living here. if unprotected with i am for me. okay. and your in the strain to day, what is trauma doing to young people in gaza?

the majority of gals is 800000 children, have only ever known life under the highest rating that located at a new report reveals the extent of the mental crisis. they are aimed 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 ad guest or to jasa. hello, ines and jason. so good to have all 3 of you in our conversation today. let me remind everybody not jasa who you are and what you do. please greet. asked dream audience with dr. norwood evening from 971. this is yesterday. i'm

a psychiatrist and david garza community nathan as well. but just seeing you all are our pleasure having you in us. welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself to our audience around the world. hello everyone. this is an aspect of it, and i'm, i'm the project manager. 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. i good evening everyone. my name is jason lee. i have the country director for safety chalk in the occupied palestinian territory and i'm calling you tonight from jerusalem when i 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 crisis situations?

pretty much all year out. yes. 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 or the findings of the report where again the situation has deteriorated. we've seen 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 with kent and, and with that, i guess you know, for me, thank you for bringing this. i tell you something more surprising, which is that in 2014, that is about it here is for now that we're all in fact sheets. you know, that came out of government and 5th, but i'm dr. weaver and disappeared that the problems would it be only related to the throw matic events that that population and goes us to put him where would expose fall. but also with the law says with the destruction of the buildings would be an ongoing disintegration in 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 one and the that because you said, but her i would likely go back with the main i think key finding as you have what have you presented in there that he brought in the beginning of this event that 90 percent of the children are simply that i feel safe when they are away from that. i think this is just, it says it's odd when, when more than one year of the last attacks 90 percent, the children and the not should be the safe that you know, we, we are now tailored that is thought of, you know, we, what was it by a family and the family has a one and the girl that went on and that the family was exposed to torment that given what they decided to bring quality they do with the you know, and the reason is that they get has been working and she was about 11, you know, been looking for that there was a big, a lot of shame with feminist threats. it planned it that it adds a lot of tension to the mother in law. they can deal with this holiday kind of

clean shape the sheets in the morning with is not exactly sometimes there's a problem with water this atrocity. now the interesting thing is that the boy was 7 . now was having some sleep disturbances and what he used to do is just to sleep under his bed. 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, show that in our neighborhoods have so much in our condition, and not problems with feared with his, with sleeping in time. why we should bring our child on some. so it's so clearly that there are a lot of hidden ones. if you could save that out of problems, i mentioned some of that give them 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 function 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 gonna say story that 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 doesn't feel safe, is worried about is there going to be another attack is there could 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 seated anxiety, the deep seated fears that permeate through

a child's life and carries through. i think this is the danger. 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 things so stark and 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 the, it's really lead blockade in garza impacts palestinian children practically from

birth. you see higher rates of neonatal disorders and congenital birth effects when compared to there is really counterparts. and there's also more much higher infant mortality rate. and then there's also a tremendous psychological tool that this blockade is placing on past indian 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, not only do you think he was having back in the past, actually 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 stimulate both young people who are living in

a siege for more than 15 years in which they lived for foreign military effects. they let them, they, they had the feeling of fear that they had the feeling of not being able to protect themselves or their, their children, their children. so the fear in the eyes of these, 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 was such a thing we talk about there are lots of graduates. we live in a high position area. we live in garza, which is that which is isolated from the whole world. a lot of people, lot of graduate and the smallest amount of jobs. there are no jobs. jobs are rare,

opportunities are very, very not available. are the time that 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 on 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 numbers is the project in which we are within the stories of them behind it, the numbers in the news, in which we train young palestinians who, who to read 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, or to break the isolation. and those young people are living and by which we allow them to talk about it, what really happens or with them here in garza,

he but at the bad side, the good side, bright side there that i'm vision's there. they're sad moments about everything that happens with them. on youtube, i've got a really interesting question from one of our viewers, perhaps jasa, and in, as you can help with this artist has not allow, says, how long will 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 we have visitation, that, that going away from the, the situation that you're in, is that even possible? yes or you didn't, you stop, you know, in 2829. we started, the authors will be called classes is sponsored plan, and this is a response for the 1st attack that happened in 2008, 9. and you know, whole teams of her man and woman, both ecologist what was it in the most effective their houses and they me,

it will the 3 and intervene. it's, it's i said, oh, years later in 2014, to support like 5 years later, one of our psychologists 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 biggest attack so mentioned that girl, you know, her house was this sudden 2000 mine was also again davis thought it wasn't working and she is fleeting. st. it and life. now in order for our, you know, coping mechanisms and off or healing in all us, that's just for our philippines, walk in the city of stability and all that. we need the children to feel of say that they are lacking in vital that they are secure, given that they can think of a positive future that they can, you know, em back their, their lives and that they can achieve something. now unfortunately,

out of those things are available in garza, for example, you know, until now, just few weeks ago they destroyed houses. they started that ability to process and that all of this for the houses that were destroyed the ball took over even though data issue, which is like an old thinks death 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 hear about the tensions that that is a possibility of another attack. you know, the whole community 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 kennedy this these 500000 edwards, but it's based 1000 or 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. it is not even that big difference between life and death. you know, because you can buy at any moment. anything that happened and more than 60,

more than 60 children, passed away and 2021. those students had their classmates. they went to schools though, susan allowed them, they felt the absence they know wendy, that have done other children with, with one. but so we need 1st to feel securely need that children to feel that the thing is fine. and then we need to think about the long term implications of being contin. explore settlement, for example, when parents report that the ability that the children are okay, they are 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 that 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,

the children report trapped. and on this graph, it, it looked at as 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 here that the feelings are worse. so to children or young people with this under the age of 15 were asked, are you feeling sad and depressed? more people they share than before? are you feeling feelings of grief? more people will issue than before, and you 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 comment on this and to build on, on what the city has just said. because that children who have who

have been living these feelings before as the fear or the are being attacked or all of these feelings are really not they don't really lose such feelings because i mean some, i know someone who in 2014, i did a 2nd because of strep, who was just because of it 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, someone someone i know a young man, i am a young man who was starting his life. you know, he was, he was, he's a worker and he started to build his has more room for his family. and with

the help of his, his wife, he was money. he managed to do this. but when, because at $900.00 started, he didn't, wasn't able to work, but event with the, with the aggression. every time it happens during all these years, every time he built his house, he keeps losing, he's 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 amount into 2020. i'm not surprising because this is what really happens. i said, jason, i am thinking these are numbers. the reason this report is, is, is so's 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 will be available for young people who need it. festival. he's dr . ishmael and then jason, please pick up of the back of him a and i also saw that and then was good in the ceo with couldn't help us. you know, sorry, i got a lot more that they had been a minute or so i had them. i should have a shot with a you have a whole navy. yeah,

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 or the stresses are removed. a lot of the work that save the children dallas, 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 continued treatment, but also the 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 it to ask these questions for my 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 where the children are living in a crisis. why isn't this regarded as a war crime and treated as such? jason just brief hold. 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 armed 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 then presented to the united nations security council to make sure that all duty bearers 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 top safe, especially 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 see if i can't share them with you in this show. i will make sure that i would read out all of our guests 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 from 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 root cause of this endless maintenance crisis and international community must pressure israel to immediately lift its closure of garza to ensure that future generations of children come to frederick more hopeful and have more dignified lives it 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, he 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 hearing 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 it's on the doors. but somehow they find

their own ways. somehow they try the create. they try to find a way in order to express themselves in order to show the way that we can. 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 there. now we have a story like over there, 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 friends you chair. but then and 2021, she lost one need to people of her family shows her her mother, her brother not shopped other kids were the right at the end of the show. but i don't want to want to know what i'm going to sort it so that was going to say that

is that she 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 choose commenters as well. really appreciate you. i put all my cats handles on my twitter account and you can follow them that i'm watching. i'll see you next time. take care. ah. july analogy 0 home cold marks 25 years. it's, it's, it's hand over from british to chinese rule, but with china's cracked on, on the closing voices. and i texted us citizens, what does the future hold from the headlines to the unreported people empower
