Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The conflict in Gaza in recent months may have created a population of 25-50,000 people who need mental health care, but the means to provide it are in desperately short supply, Dermot Carty, deputy director for the UNICEF Office of Emergency Programmes (Emops) told the Webster University humanitarian conference in Geneva 26 February, citing World Health Organization figures.
The conference addresses the psychological impact of humanitarian crises.
Ed note: Independent consultant and refugee advocate Jared Bloch is attending the conference and blogs about it for GenevaLunch.
