Zehra,* a mental health officer working for Premiumaid Foundation in Türkiye, explained, "The children (in Turkey) we’re speaking to are showing signs of aggression, being withdrawn, and not speaking much, while some others show the opposite: they want a lot of attention. Parents are also telling us that children are having nightmares."
In Antakya, Hatay, and remote villages hard-hit in Türkiye, Premiumaid Foundation teams have set up child-friendly activities for children aged five to 12 so they have a safe place to play, learn, and express their grief and loss.
