Here is the study (pdf).

The Gaza-based Community Training Center for Crisis Management, supported by War Child Alliance, surveyed more than 500 Palestinian children in Gaza last June. The results in brief:

• 96% of children feel death is imminent
• 92% of children are not accepting of reality,
• 87% display severe fear,
• 79% suffer from nightmares,
• 77% of children avoid talking about traumatic events,
• 73% of children exhibit symptoms of aggression,
• 49% of children wish to die because of the war.

There are "many more show signs of withdrawal and severe anxiety, alongside a pervasive sense of hopelessness", the organization War Child Alliance says.

A seminal 2019 study published in the Lancet indicated that 22% of individuals in a conflict affected population would suffer from a mental disorder*. In comparison, the figures from this needs assessment study indicate that virtually all of the most vulnerable children in Gaza require psychosocial and trauma recovery support.
