Window of Hope: Empowering Gazan Families Through Trauma-Informed Support

The website, https://amal.ps, serves as a reliable source for psychological support. Additionally, partnerships with institutions are being forged to expand direct support for affected families. The initiative welcomes contributions from experts willing to volunteer their expertise, expressing heartfelt gratitude to those already involved.
