RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nuseirat - 28 July 2021. Palestinian children dance and cheer as musicians of the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music perform at Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Mohammed Hameid STORYLINE: The Gaza Strip remains in ruins two months after a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Gaza militants ended eleven days of violence that claimed the lives of 255, including at least 67 children, the worst conflict since the 2014 war. 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 Ashraf Amra / APAwire
