Children with Down syndrome in Gaza are struggling to rebuild abilities lost during the conflict, Middle East Eye reported. Displacement, trauma, and the destruction of care centres have disrupted the specialized support these children require, forcing families to restart developmental work from scratch.
The ongoing conditions in Gaza continue to hinder rehabilitation efforts for disabled children. Families face the dual challenge of processing collective trauma while attempting to restore their children's lost skills without access to the destroyed facilities that previously provided essential care and training.
