Rahaf is a 13-year-old girl living in the Maghazi Camp in Deir Al-Balah, Gaza. Her experience is like that of any child living through violence. In the first few days, she shared she’s never felt fear or panic like this before. Her and her siblings clung by their parents’ side as they listened to the sound of missiles. Fire from one of the missiles even managed to creep its way into their home. The family was eventually forced to flee to Rafah.
Thanks to donors like you, Rahaf was able to find healing through joining a mind-body skills group. “I found comfort,” she shared. Eventually, she learned new ways to cope with her trauma and was even able to do things on her own, without feeling the need to cling to her mother.
