joining us now is the chief of unicef's organization in gaza. uni self has psychosocial teams in gaza visiting moments and hospitals and meeting the children. what is a psychosocial team, and what are they learning about the impact that the fighting is having on the children in gaza? >> these are teams, essentially, that specialise counsellors and individuals who reach out to children who are known to have either witnessed family member having been killed, themselves being injured, their homes destroyed. essentially the children who have been rite in the heart of this -- right in the heart of this raging exchange of hostilities that lasted well over a week. these teams are checking in with the children, giving them immediate support, in terms of coping skills, and then maintaining that contact now over time. this is taking a tremendous toll on children. and i have to say that they are bearing the brunt of it. the families that i have spoken with as well described how their children are absolutely petrified and in some cases paralyzed with fear.
