DESCRIPTION:Since October 7, Israel has dropped the equivalent of two nuclear bombs on 
 Gaza, killing and wounding tens of thousands, displacing 1.5 million, and 
 creating conditions on the ground that inevitably lead to more death, 
 injury and disease. Yet this humanitarian catastrophe is not the first 
 Gazans have endured. The majority of the population are refugees displaced 
 from their homes in the 1948 Nakba.  Forty percent of today’s Gazans are 
 under age 15.  In their lifetime they have seen five Israeli bombing 
 campaigns on their homes, not to mention the deadly force Israel used 
 against Gazans participating in the primarily nonviolent border protests of 
 2018-2019.  \n\nHow does this affect the physical and mental health of the 
 people of Gaza, particularly the children?  How many generations will this 
 damage remain?  Panelists will explore Gaza’s cycles of trauma, recovery, 
 and re-traumatization, centering on three short films: "Gaza: A Gaping 
 Wound"; "So They Know We Existed"; and "Heroes of Gaza: The Extraordinary 
 Doctors, Living & Working in a Warzone."\n\nRegister below and join us on 
 December 17 at 12:00pm PT for a discussion of the impact of this trauma 
 with: \n•	Dr. Samah Jabr - Head of the Mental Health Unit within the 
 Palestinian Ministry of Health,  founding member Palestine-Global Mental 
 Health Network  \n•	Ahmed Alnaouq – Palestinian journalist, cofounder 
 of We Are Not Numbers\n•	Steve Sosbee – Founder and President,
