Lebanon’s children experience trauma during ongoing conflict with Israel

Four-year-old Malaika was severely injured when an Israeli strike hit near her home in Mayfadoun, Lebanon, on March 2, killing her mother, who died protecting her. Since then, nearly 1,000 children have been wounded amid escalating violence, with over 3,600 fatalities reported in Lebanon, including at least 245 children. Humanitarian organizations stress the urgent need for a ceasefire and adherence to international law, as the ongoing conflict has resulted in significant displacement and trauma among children.
