"War's Mental Health Impact on Palestinians and IDF Veterans"

The war in Gaza and increased settler violence have led to a surge in mental health issues among Palestinians in the West Bank, with children particularly affected. The conflict has caused anxiety and depression, prompting a growing need for mental health care. Limited access to psychiatrists and therapists exacerbates the situation, while cultural stigmas about seeking help add to the challenge. The ongoing stress and trauma, compounded by delays at checkpoints and road closures, are taking a toll on the mental well-being of both adults and children in the region.
