UNRWA: Perang Israel sebabkan ‘pandemi cacat anak-anak’ di Gaza
UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) recently released a report stating that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has resulted in a “pandemic of disabilities” among children in Gaza. The report highlights the devastating impact of the conflict on the physical and mental health of children in the region.
According to the report, the constant violence and destruction in Gaza have led to a significant increase in the number of children with disabilities. Many children have been left with permanent physical injuries, such as loss of limbs or paralysis, due to the use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas. In addition, the trauma of living through regular bombings and witnessing the deaths of family members has led to a rise in mental health issues among children in Gaza.
The report also highlights the challenges faced by children with disabilities in accessing healthcare and support services in Gaza. The healthcare system in Gaza has been severely strained by the ongoing conflict, making it difficult for children with disabilities to receive the care and support they need. Many children are unable to access specialized medical treatment or therapy, leading to long-term consequences for their health and well-being.
UNRWA has called for an immediate end to the violence in Gaza and for increased support for children with disabilities in the region. The agency has stressed the importance of providing children with disabilities with access to quality healthcare, education, and social services to help them overcome the challenges they face.
The report serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the conflict on the most vulnerable members of society. It is essential for the international community to take action to address the needs of children with disabilities in Gaza and to work towards a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
UNRWA continues to provide essential services to Palestinian refugees in Gaza and beyond, but more support is needed to ensure that children with disabilities have access to the care and support they need to thrive. It is time for the international community to come together to end the violence and ensure a better future for the children of Gaza.
