AbstractThe long-standing and complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict has led to the widespread displacement of Palestinians and resulted in ongoing challenges for the Palestinian population (Feliciana, 2011). It has had a lasting impact on the region, affecting the lives and well-being of its inhabitants. The recent intensification of the Palestine conflict has heightened uncertainty and fear, with ongoing violence including air raids and ground incursions taking a heavy toll, particularly on children. The increased risk of displacement, destruction of homes, and loss of family members have deepened the mental health challenges for these young individuals. The prolonged conflict has inflicted substantial trauma on children, the most vulnerable group affected. This letter aims to explore the extensive impact of war on the mental health of Palestinian children. It summarizes the prevalence of mental disorders and highlights the looming risk of a mental health epidemic in this group. The letter also discusses approaches for identifying and managing their psychological needs and highlights the crucial role of the international community in mitigating long-term impacts.
