Rafah's traumatised children

This is an Observer article on the way children in Rafah are suffering under the Israeli occupation:
Worst affected are those who have seen relatives or friends killed in front of them, but children are also traumatised by shooting, night raids, demolitions and other people's stress. 'In the long term, the trauma will grow with the child and becomes part of the personality,' says Abu Hein. 'The disease matures with them.'
