Mohammed R. Mhawish reported from Gaza City during the Israeli invasion following the October 7th attack. Amidst the devastation and tragedy, he highlighted the efforts of mental health workers attempting to aid a deeply traumatized populace. These workers face starvation, grief from lost loved ones, and their own injuries while dealing with a relentless death toll. They emphasize the importance of beginning the healing process without waiting for the war to end, revealing a profound commitment to support others amidst their own suffering.
"They were telling me, 'We cannot wait for the war to stop to start healing-or for ourselves to heal-to start healing others.'"
"I understood they were trying to heal by helping others heal."
