🌿 Support parents and children in Gaza 🌿

Dear friends,

We want to share something deeply important. A small booklet has been developed for parents and trusted caregivers in Gaza who are struggling to care for their children under the unbearable weight of war and trauma. It is written by Dr. Safwat Diab, himself from Gaza, and an expert on war-traumatised children, together with a team of highly respected colleagues: Nora Sveaass, Helen Christie, Beate Seibt, Katrin Glatz Brubakk, and Elisabeth Langdal.

This booklet is not theory, but rather a practical tool that is based on the lived experience of helpers in Gaza. It provides parents and caregivers with practical guidance on how to support their children through fear, nightmares, withdrawal, and anxiety, normal reactions to the inhuman reality they face. Most of all, it reminds parents and trusted caregivers that they themselves are their children’s most important source of security and hope.

💚 The goal is to print and distribute the booklet inside Gaza, where it is urgently needed.

Generously, Katrin Glatz Brubakk has given permission for funds to be sent to her trusted aid account.

The booklet can also be read or downloaded to mobiles both in Arabic and English
