My Life Is a War: Voices of Traumatized Palestinian Children under Israeli Occupation by Dr. Iman Farajallah

For over seven decades, the young inhabitants of Palestine have endured the relentless burden of escalating war-related traumas as a consequence of enduring and protracted conflicts with Israel. Palestinian children have been subjected to peril and violence on a scale that has, regrettably, given rise to a marginalized social stratum within their society. It is within this adversity that our research has found its purpose, which is deeply rooted in the calling to illuminate the profound psychological repercussions wrought by war.

Through our research, we undertake a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted aspects surrounding the harrowing experiences of war and post-war trauma among children, with a particular focus on the children of Palestine. In the pages that follow, we shall embark on a journey into the lives of Palestinian children who have witnessed the cruelty of Israeli occupation. Our objective is twofold: to provide a depiction of their experiences and to shed light on the ongoing efforts and potential global interventions aimed at mitigating this human tragedy. In so doing, we appeal to empathy for addressing this issue, not merely as a regional concern, but as a testament to the collective humanity that binds us all.
