The fear and anxiety caused by the ongoing war in Gaza is causing a range of speech problems including stuttering amongst young children, according to a therapist interviewed by the United Nations.

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.
