This article from the Guardian discusses the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza where thousands of children have lost one or both parents amid war, and many are severely wounded and without any surviving family. It introduces the term WCNSF (“wounded child, no surviving family”), which medical teams have begun using to describe kids who are traumatically injured and completely alone. Humanitarian agencies—UNICEF, War Child, MSF—are stretched trying to provide short-term emergency care, trace any surviving family, find foster or camp-based care, and address profound physical, psychological and social needs. The article argues that beyond the immediate medical emergencies, the damage to children’s well-being, their emotional health, and the destruction of the social networks that normally support family and community are incalculable.
