Skateboarding helps Gaza children with trauma amid ruins, adds rare joy

The situation in Gaza highlights the resilience of children facing trauma, as they turn the ruins of their war-torn environment into skateparks, finding joy in skateboarding. This mirrors other global challenges, such as in Bangladesh, where children navigate education through floating schools amidst flooding. Both scenarios illustrate how children adapt to adverse conditions, seeking joy and normalcy in their lives despite overwhelming challenges. The recent heavy rains in Gaza, which flooded displaced Palestinians' tents, further complicate these efforts, emphasizing the urgent need for mental health support and sustainable solutions in crisis zones.
