11:34 am
a recent report by safe for children. in this report, 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 now to 10 caregivers in gaza, feel unhappy and anxious. let's take a closer look at that situation with, i guess start to jasa. hello, ines and jason. so good to have all 3 of you in our conversation today. let me remind everybody dot t as a who you are and what you do. please greet, asked dream audience with afternoon or evening from 971. this is yesterday. i'm a psychiatrist, and be back to the community. nathan, as well. just seeing you all are pleasure having you in us. welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself to our audience around the world. hello everyone. this is
11:35 am
ines patterson 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 of us. hi, good evening everyone. my name is jason lee. i have the country director for safety, georgia in the occupied palestinian territory. i am calling you tonight from jerusalem. i get to have the wall or 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 your 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 approved. has it gotten worse, particularly with the,
11:36 am
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 disturbing reports or 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,
11:37 am
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 i, you know, for me, thank you for bringing this. i tell you something more surprising, which is that in 2014, that is about 8 years from now. that we're all in a fact sheet. you know, that came out of doesn't making those but i'm dr. reba and disappeared. that the problems would it be only related to the throw miki events that, that population and goes us to put him where, when exposed for. but also with the law says with the destruction of the buildings would be ongoing disintegration and socio economic conditions. now that continue to be the case for years later, and in 2021 if, if they did the self as it's one and the that because he said, but her, i would likely go back with the main i think key finding as you have already presented in there that he bought in the beginning is even that 90 percent of the
11:38 am
children are simply gonna feel safe when they are away from that. i think this is just, it says it's odd when, when more than one year after the last tax 90 percent, the children in the hospital is safe. that, you know, we, we are now a, did a study, you know, we, what was it by a family of 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 diagnosed with the shop you know and various and is that a little has been working and she was about 11, you know, been looking for if there was a, been a lot of shame with families to thought it planned it that it adds a lot of attention to the mother, i don't know how they can deal with this, a leak. i think leadership the sheets in the morning with is not cuz it sometimes is a problem with water suppressive. 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
11:39 am
under his bed. no. so we were talking to the fathers, the father and mother, and oh, why don't you also bring your child to the trauma. now the only concern was that, you know, so that should, in our neighborhood have similar sh in all condition. similar problems with here with his was sleeping in time why we shouldn't bank our child or i want some. so it 1st really there, there are a lot of hidden ones. if you could save the old of problems, i mentioned some of them give them dollar if not come to the surface. and i think the key point here is the feeling of a safety net is lacking. that other key important issue which is that the parents, the family, dyslexia that was mainly helping and supporting their children is now within week out and week of the sources that people are getting weaker. and you know that her out as, as i was just gonna say story,
11:40 am
that i can really emphasize that because we've speak to a lot of children and we see this recurring pattened 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 this feeling 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
11:41 am
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
11:42 am
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 and gaza and not only do you think what happened back in the past, i actually wrote about of us about committing suicide and deeper put us in or the 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 let them be, they had the feelings of fear. did they have the feeling of not being able to
11:43 am
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 would be such a thing where we talk about they wouldn't. there are lots of graduates. we live in a high this edition area. we live in garza, which is which is isolated from the whole world. lot of people, lot of graduates 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,
11:44 am
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 when numbers in the project in which we are within the stories of them behind it. the numbers in the news in which we threatened young palestinians to do, 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, those young people are living or by which we allow them to talk about it, what really happens or with them here in garza 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
11:45 am
a really interesting question from one of our view as perhaps jasa and in as you can help with this artist, has natal 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 growing away from the, the situation that you're in, is that even possible? yes or you didn't, you stop, you know, in $2820.00 line we started, the authors will be called classes response to plan and, and this is a response for the 1st attack that happened in 2008 mine. and you know, whole teams of her man and woman both equally just what it was. it didn't almost affect their houses and they me, it pulled a 3 and intervene. it's it says, oh, years later in 2014, just like 5 years, the thought one of our psychologist,
11:46 am
she wasn't as she was a woman that was walking to the same id, im east honey honest, presided when suddenly a young girl just started torn 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 imagine 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. bucket and life. now in order for our, you know, a coping mechanism 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 few say that they are making, invite them that they are secure, given that they can think of opposite the future that they can, you know, em back there that lives in and that they can achieve something. now, unfortunately, out of those things are not 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 the disorganized that were destroyed the ball took over even though
11:47 am
data issue, which is like an old thinks death remind people of this moment the events continue to be there. and soft dawns that keep 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 this 1000 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 to anything that have been more than 60 more than 60 children passed away and 2021. those 2 that 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 secure. he need that children to feel that the
11:48 am
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,
11:49 am
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 this year than before? are you feeling feelings of grief more people 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 comment on this and to build on on what the 30 asset 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
11:50 am
really lose such feelings because i mean some, i know someone who in 2014 i get a 2nd because a strip 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, on 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, his more room for his family. and with the help of his, his wife, he was man, he managed to do this. but when, because at 900 started, he didn't, wasn't able to work, but event with the, with the migration,
11:51 am
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 they 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
11:52 am
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 sorta 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. why should a show me to receive a he had a whole you know, he had 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,
11:53 am
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 in to ask these questions from our audience very quickly so i can
11:54 am
include more of them at jason. this one is an atom, wiley. why isn't? this 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 briefly. so this is a difficult question. i mean, there are global accountant, lead me 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 audience are asking,
11:55 am
how can we help? how can we link up with families? i'm guarantee 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 and 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 that it goes off this endless maintenance crisis and international community must pressure israel mediately lift its closure of closer to ensure that future generations of children come to further more hopeful and have more dignified lives
11:56 am
. 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 uses 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. is in this incredible is this part of the hearing? and ass? 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,
11:57 am
in this thread that you just saw, those, the young men were able to invent this tool in which they can, they can help people to go out there. there will. now we have a story like over the course, 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 checks, but then and 2021. she lost one need to people of her family show her her mother, her brother, and then you shopped other cars where 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 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.
