Discussion

Professional mental health teams provide comprehensive psychological support at evacuation centers and temporary shelter facilities throughout Gaza. Services begin immediately upon resident arrival with psychological assessment and crisis stabilization, continuing through extended displacement periods with ongoing counseling and community support activities. The programme addresses evacuation-specific stressors including loss of home and possessions, separation from community networks, overcrowded living conditions, and uncertainty about return timelines. Therapeutic interventions include individual counseling for processing displacement trauma, family sessions addressing evacuation stress impacts on relationships, peer support groups building social connections, and community activities maintaining cultural identity and social cohesion. Children receive specialized attention through play therapy, educational continuity programmes, and peer support addressing developmental impacts of displacement. The programme emphasizes practical coping strategies while building hope and resilience for eventual return or successful relocation.
