Research in Human Development
This study explores how resilience is understood and developed in children and youth living under occupation and conflict in Palestine. The research asks how Palestinian children and youth demonstrate resilience despite ongoing trauma, instability, and violence. It examines the factors that influence resilience, such as family support, community resources, education, and culture. The findings show that while Palestinian children and youth often display remarkable resilience, the ongoing conflict and lack of access to basic needs significantly challenge their psychological well-being. The article recommends a more comprehensive approach to resilience, emphasizing the need for increased mental health support, social services, and educational programs tailored to the specific needs of children in conflict zones. It also calls for greater international advocacy and policies that address the root causes of trauma in such environments.
