Dr. Bahzad al-Akhras operates a clinic in the Gaza Strip, adapting to deliver care in various locations. Following displacement due to conflict, he sees approximately fifty patients daily, predominantly children who have experienced trauma. In makeshift settings, he utilizes limited resources to provide psychosocial support and therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Akhras collaborates with medical staff to secure essential medications for those in severe distress, though professional communication has dwindled to essential voice notes amid the crisis.
A child and adolescent psychiatrist, Akhras sees patients in makeshift settings across Gaza, emphasizing the need for mental health support amid dire conditions.
