From destroyed homes and playgrounds to dreams of becoming doctors, writers, and fashion designers, children in Gaza have expressed how two years of war have reshaped their lives and risk shattering their dreams.

The drawings, released on World Mental Health Day, are by children in a psychosocial support programme run by Save the Children in one of its child-friendly spaces in Gaza, which offer places for children to play and help them cope with what they are witnessing during the war and what they dream about for their future. 

We are by children’s sides in Gaza, and we’ll keep calling for a world that respects their right to survive and be protected. But we can’t do it without your support.
