Amid ongoing devastation in Gaza, small efforts are helping to support children affected by months of conflict. One initiative in Khan Younis offers a brief escape and a moment of relief for some of the youngest victims of the war.
In Gaza, where the scars of war remain etched into the landscape, the sound of children’s laughter provides a rare moment of comfort.
An event organised with the support of a humanitarian group brought together young people affected by months of conflict, offering games, activities and a temporary escape from the harsh reality around them.
Organisers said the initiative was designed to bring smiles to children’s faces and help them forget the devastating psychological effects of the conflict, even if only briefly.
The Palestinian death toll in Gaza from Israel’s war since October 2023 has reached 72,280 people, with 172,014 others wounded, the Health Ministry said on Monday.
In a statement, the ministry said that two people were killed and a third injured by Israeli fire in the past 24 hours.
According to the ministry, at least 704 people have been killed and 1,914 others injured by Israeli fire since a ceasefire deal took effect on 10 October 2025.
The ministry added that local authorities had recovered 756 bodies from the rubble since the ceasefire.
Yet moments like these, however brief, offer children a chance to smile again and serve as a reminder of resilience amid ongoing hardship.
