"Gaza's Children Face Uncertain Future Amid War, Starvation, and Famine"

Palestinian children in northern Gaza are enduring the devastating impact of Israeli strikes, displacement, and disrupted education, with nearly 30% estimated to have no home to return to and over 1 million in need of mental health support. The war has resulted in widespread destruction, severe malnutrition, and limited access to medical care, leaving children vulnerable to life-altering injuries and trauma. Families like the Hamoudas are struggling to provide a sense of normalcy for their children, who long for the simple joys of playing on the beach and attending school, while facing the harsh reality of loss and uncertainty in the midst of the ongoing conflict.
