RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza- 27 July 2021. Palestinian girls practice karate at Qattan Foundation in Gaza city. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Nagham Abu Samra. 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Jana el-Dalow. STORYLINE: The A.M. Qattan Foundation (AMQF) is an independent, not-for-profit developmental organisation working in the fields of culture and education, with a particular focus on children, teachers and young artists. Founded and registered in 1993 in the UK as a charity, it has had a branch in Palestine, registered as a non-profit organisation since 1998. The Foundation’s operations are mainly in Palestine, with additional activity in the United Kingdom through The Mosaic Rooms. According to Gaza’s health ministry, some 260 people were killed in Gaza, including at least 67 children during an 11-day Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip that began on May 10. Gaza's children traumatised during recent 11-day conflict join generations taking years to heal. With schools shuttered due to the war, the coronavirus and the summer hiatus, Gaza's children have little to keep them occupied as they wade through the wreckage. Some of them are irritable, their parents say. Some wet themselves at night, are afraid to be alone, suffer from night terrors — all signs of trauma, says Dr Yasser Abu Jamei, director-general of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program. But there is only one licensed child psychiatrist for Gaza's 1 million children, who make up just under 48 per cent of the population, Abu Jamei says. To recover, he says, children need to feel the traumatic event they've experienced is over and that life is returning to normal. Footage by / APAwire
