All the families living in Palestine are at least one-hour drive from the nearest public health centre. As they are located in remote and isolated areas.
There is no doubt that Palestinian children have been exposed to many violent events and it is likely that this exposure has affected them, and that they may display some or all of the symptoms that correspond to the diagnostic symptoms associated with mental ailments such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and mood disorders.
This initiative from Ahmed Zulficar and Samar Deghaili should play a very important role in helping young Palestinians in every possible way.
