On this edition of Parallax Views, we return to the issue of the struggles faced by people living in the Gaza Strip. Specifically, we are honing in on the mental health crisis in Gaza, especially in regards to children. Joining us is Dr. Yasser Abu Jamei, a Palestinian clinical neuro-psychiatrist and the Director General of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme. This is a sobering conversation in which Dr. Jamei details how trauma, fear, and poverty have coalesced in Gaza to create mental health for its inhabitants. We'll be discussing the effects of the Israeli occupation, air-strikes, difficult socio-economic conditions, and the biopsychosocial model as they relate to these matters. Additionally, Dr. Jamei will discuss the issue of education and universities in Gaza, the differences in challenges face by men and women/boys and girls in Gaza, Gaza and human rights (and framing the issues around human rights rather than religious conflict), the discourse around Gaza in Western media, and much, much more.

The Mental Health Crisis in Gaza w/ Dr. Yasser Abu Jamei of Gaza Community Mental Health Programme

We're live for a vital DeepDive focusing on the impact of Israel's latest bombardment of Gaza, as well as the 15 years of siege and destruction it has imposed, on Palestinian children in particular. At least 45 Palestinians have been killed, including 16 children, in Israel's latest aggression on Gaza. Half of Gaza's two million population are children, living under siege in one of the world's most densely populated places. Hosted by Ahmed Alnaouq, a Palestinian journalist from Gaza whose story was the inspiration behind the formation of We Are Not Numbers, we're live with: Dr. Yasser Abu Jamei – Director of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme Hind Wihaidi – A 17-year-old Palestinian musician and writer living in Gaza. Rana Shubair – Palestinian author of two books, "My lover is a Freedom Righter", and "In Gaza, I Dare to Dream". Rana is also a mother of three children.

Gaza is a Children’s Prison: Exposing Gaza’s Mental Health Crisis – Dr Yasser Abu Jamei, Rana Shubair & Hind Wihaidi

HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Dr Yasser Abu Jamei, director of Gaza’s biggest mental health program. The past few days have seen rising tension in Gaza – Islamist militants fired rockets into Israel; the Israelis responded with air strikes aimed at the Islamic Jihad group. Hardly unusual and certainly not the stuff of international headlines but that in itself is telling. In Gaza conflict is the norm, so too an economic blockade that has long choked the economy. What happens to a people living with trauma and collective despair?
