      Almost all children’ need mental health support Crickx also said the mental health of children in Gaza was being severely affected by the offensive, and that a million children in the Gaza Strip require mental health support.

      Children in Gaza “present symptoms like extremely high levels of persistent anxiety, loss of appetite, they can’t sleep, they have emotional outbursts or panic every time they hear the bombings,” he explained.

      Before the assault erupted, UNICEF estimated that more than 500,000 children in Gaza needed mental health and psycho-social support.
