HELP CHILDREN IN THE WEST BANK RECOVER FROM THE TRAUMA OF MILITARY DETENTION

One minute, Navid is asleep in bed. The next, he is woken by soldiers breaking into his home. As he is taken, Navid can’t even say goodbye to his family.

Sounds like the stuff of nightmares, doesn’t it? But this actually happened.

Every year, it is estimated that as many as 700 Palestinian children in the West Bank are arrested and prosecuted in Israel’s military court system, which denies them the most basic rights. No child should have to suffer the physical trauma of detention. But the psychological scars run even deeper. Children return from detention with nightmares, anxiety, and depression.

Christians in the West Bank are providing psychological first aid to help them recover from their trauma - but they need your support to continue this vital work.

Please give a donation today so we can continue to show children growing up in a world of violence and fear, that healing is possible.
