Psychological impact of war on children

THE Trauma and Mental Health report released by York University, Canada reveals that in the past decade, 18 million children were raised in the chaos of war.

Over two million children have been killed, six million have been disabled, 20 million homeless, and more than one million have become separated from their parents. Many children have watched in horror as their homes and schools were destroyed and have witnessed the death of their loved ones. Many live through situations where they believe they themselves would be killed.
