Mental health professionals in the Gaza Strip state that its residents are experiencing a 'volcanic' eruption. Specialists warn that the population is facing a mental health crisis. This situation is a direct result of prolonged conflicts, the blockade, and severe resource shortages. Experts report a sharp increase in cases of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) across all age groups. Many individuals feel isolated and hopeless. Mental health experts are calling on the international community to provide urgent psychological and humanitarian support to the people of Gaza. Rebuilding mental well-being requires a comprehensive approach and long-term investments in the healthcare system. Without these measures, the consequences for the entire region could be catastrophic.
