FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Thousands of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip are suffering from multiple traumas following the Israeli regime’s latest military assault on the blockaded coastal enclave, Press TV reports.
Experts say traumatized Gazans are grappling with multiple psychological illnesses, while most patients are showing symptoms of depression, anxiety and the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
“Gaza lacks psychiatric institutions to deal with the large number of people who suffer from the post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems that require psychiatric and psychological treatment,” Suleiman Qudeih, a psychiatrist, told Press TV.
The United Nations has estimated that 400,000 Gazan children are in need of psychological care as a result of not just the latest onslaught on the territory but the three previous acts of Israeli military aggression since 2006.
The Israeli military unleashed aerial attacks on Gaza in early July and later expanded its military campaign with a ground invasion of the Palestinian strip. Over 2,130 Palestinians, including around 570 children, lost their lives and some 11,000 were injured in the raids.
More than 15,600 housing units were also damaged in the attacks, while over 2,200 houses were totally destroyed, according to official figures released by Palestinian sources.
