Gaza children with Down syndrome are still reckoning with the devastation of the war • FRANCE 24

The war in Gaza has especially affected the most vulnerable groups in the enclave; among them are children with Down syndrome. During the war, health and education services dedicated to them have largely collapsed, according to specialists and families. Many children with Down syndrome in the coastal enclave suffer chronic health conditions, including poor blood circulation, cataracts, and respiratory problems, requiring constant medical care, according the Right to Live Society, a Palestinian nonprofit working to rehabilitate children with Down syndrome and Autism.
