Almost all children’ need mental health support Crickx also said the mental health of children in Gaza was being severely affected by the offensive, and that a million children in the Gaza Strip require mental health support.
Children in Gaza “present symptoms like extremely high levels of persistent anxiety, loss of appetite, they can’t sleep, they have emotional outbursts or panic every time they hear the bombings,” he explained.
Before the assault erupted, UNICEF estimated that more than 500,000 children in Gaza needed mental health and psycho-social support.

Don’t get me wrong - this is a genuinely tragic, maddening, horrific situation. However, “left unaccompanied” is hilariously bad translation.
I'm just surprised there are Palestinian children that the brave Israeli soldiers didn't murder.
No need for that when you can manufacture a famine to do the rest of the dirty work (amongst other catastrophes of course).
