Prevalence and associated factors of mental health disorders among internally displaced persons in Gaza
We found a high prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among internally displaced persons in the Gaza Strip, particularly among those living in tents and those frequently forced to change their shelter. These findings support the urgent need for effective interventions to prevent and control these disorders among affected families in Gaza and similar conflict zones.
