In a modest tent in a makeshift camp for displaced people west of the town of Al-Zawaida in Deir al-Balah governorate in Gaza, children whose lives have been turned upside down by a deadly war and widespread destruction are meeting speech therapist Amina Al-Dahdouh.
She is there to help them regain confidence in speaking.
An increasing number of people, especially young children are finding it difficult to express themselves as a result of the almost year-long war which has raged around them.
Amina Al-Dahdouh treats dozens of Palestinian children who suffer from speech problems.
“Stuttering is the problem that has increased the most,” said Amina Al-Dahdouh.
She estimates that that six out of ten children in the camp currently suffer from speech difficulties.
There is plenty of demand for her services in the camp where family members, some of whom have been displaced multiple times, are sheltering from attacks by Israeli forces.
