Children in Gaza 'developing severe trauma' after 16 days of bombing
Children in Gaza are developing severe trauma symptoms alongside the risk of death and injury, according to a Palestinian psychiatrist. The psychological impact of the war on children was showing, said Fadel Abu Heen, a psychiatrist in Gaza. Children had "started to develop serious trauma symptoms such as convulsions, bed-wetting, fear, aggressive behaviour, nervousness, and not leaving their parents' sides." The "lack of any safe place has created a general sense of fear and horror among the entire population and children are most impacted, " he said.
"Some of them reacted directly and expressed their fears. Although they may need immediate intervention, they may be in a better state than the other kids who kept the horror and trauma inside them." About half of Gaza's 2.3 million population are children. Since 7 October, they have lived under near constant bombardment, with many packed into temporary shelters in UN-run schools after fleeing their homes with little access to food or clean water.
Israeli children have also shown increasing signs of trauma since 7 October, according to Zachi Grossman, the chair of the Israeli Paediatric Association. "We're witnessing a tsunami of anxiety symptoms among children" and the issue was "not being adequately addressed", he told Ynet, an Israeli news website. "Around 90% of children visiting paediatric hospitals complain of anxiety. Many are suffering from anxiety, and it's certainly something we haven't seen in the past. The recognition is beginning to dawn that this issue will be much more prolonged than before, " Grossman said.

据一名巴勒斯坦精神病医生说，加沙的儿童正在出现严重的创伤症状，同时还有死亡和受伤的风险。加沙的精神病学家法德尔·阿布·希恩（Fadel Abu Heen）说，战争对儿童的心理影响正在显现。孩子们“开始出现严重的创伤症状，如抽搐、尿床、恐惧、攻击性行为、紧张和不愿离开父母身边。”他说，“缺乏安全的地方使整个人群普遍感到恐惧和恐怖，儿童受到的影响最大。”

“Some of them reacted directly and expressed their fears. Although they may need immediate intervention, they may be in a better state than the other kids who kept the horror and trauma inside them.” About half of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are children. Since 7 October, they have lived under near constant bombardment, with many packed into temporary shelters in UN-run schools after fleeing their homes with little access to food or clean water.

参考译文
他们中的一些人直接做出了反应，表达了他们的恐惧。尽管他们可能需要立即干预，但他们的状态可能比其他将恐惧和创伤藏在心里的孩子要好。加沙230万人口中约有一半是儿童。自10月7日以来，他们一直生活在几乎持续不断的轰炸之下，许多人在逃离家园后几乎得不到食物或干净的水，他们挤在联合国开办的学校里的临时住所里。

据以色列儿科协会主席扎奇·格罗斯曼说，自10月7日以来，以色列儿童也表现出越来越多的创伤迹象。他告诉以色列新闻网站Ynet，“我们目睹了儿童中焦虑症状的海啸”，而这个问题“没有得到充分解决”。在儿科医院就诊的儿童中，约有90%抱怨焦虑。许多人正在遭受焦虑的折磨，这当然是我们过去从未见过的。格罗斯曼说：“人们开始认识到，这个问题将比以前更加持久。”

随着巴以冲突持续，加沙地带人道主义危机急剧恶化。根据联合国人道主义事务协调办公室22日提供的数据，加沙地带约有160万人流离失所，而这一数字约占该地区人口的六成以上。
10月18日，埃及总统塞西在与美国总统拜登通电话后表示同意通过拉法口岸向加沙地带提供“可持续”援助。自21日至今，共有四批人道主义援助物资经埃及与巴勒斯坦加沙地带之间的拉法口岸进入加沙地带。据悉，进入加沙的救援物资包括水、食物和医疗用品等，但不包括当前加沙迫切需要的燃料。
联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处（近东救济工程处）24日表示，过去几天共有54辆援助卡车进入加沙。在此前相对和平的时期，每天约有500辆卡车将援助物资送往加沙。与此相比，目前这种规模的援助远远不够。
近东救济工程处还表示，过去几天有大量食品被送入加沙，但包括大米在内的多种物资需要淡水和煤气才能煮熟。由于加沙目前无法获得燃料，水资源也十分紧缺，部分援助物资无法缓解当地民众的生存困境。
此外，燃料的短缺也令加沙地带的医疗系统面临巨大挑战。据央视新闻援引巴勒斯坦《圣城报》当地时间24日报道，巴勒斯坦卫生部发言人宣布加沙地带的医疗系统彻底崩溃，并称当地目前已有12家医院、32家卫生中心停止服务。
