"Malnutrition affecting bond between parents and Gaza kids Quotable"
"The biggest issue that's very acute in the childhood period though is things like developmental delays. Dr. Amber Alayyan, from Doctors Without Borders discusses the long-term effects of malnutrition in developing children in Gaza."
Children in Gaza face severe malnutrition that produces acute developmental delays during critical childhood stages. Malnutrition impairs cognitive, physical, and emotional development and increases long-term vulnerability to disease and learning difficulties. Nutritional deficits reduce responsiveness and energy, undermining secure parent-child bonding and caregivers' ability to provide consistent care under extreme stress. Developmental delays during early childhood can become persistent, leading to lifelong consequences for schooling, health, and social functioning. Comprehensive nutritional, medical, and psychosocial interventions are required to prevent irreversible harm and to support recovery of growth, development, and family attachment.
