Salomão* (11) lives in Gaza Province in southern Mozambique where severe flooding forced him to flee his home with his grandmother and sister-in-law Marta* (21) in January 2026. They lost many of their belongings and lived in a crowded classroom that acted as an evacuation centre for two months where Marta gave birth to her son Edgar* (1 month). While Salomão and his family have now returned to their home, recovery remains challenging. It rains frequently and Salomão’s school is still surrounded by floodwaters, which means he’s been unable to attend school for two months. For Salomão, these barriers are compounded by his physical disability. When it rains, moving through flooded areas can be physically difficult. Despite these challenges, Salomão finds a sense of belonging and joy at Save the Children’s Child Friendly Space, where his favorite activity is football and he can play with other children in a supportive and inclusive environment (see Additional Information for more information on Save the Children’s support).

Twins Shadi* and Basil* are eight years old and live with their parents, and their younger brother (6) in a tent in the central region of the Gaza Strip. They were forced from their homes when the war started in Gaza and have been displaced four times since then.
Their father, Mazen* (48) says the living conditions in the shelter are extremely difficult with no electricity or clean drinking water and poor bathroom facilities. They also struggle to access fresh food – due to availability and very high prices – and mainly eat canned food. He worries about the impact this will have on his sons’ growth and development.
But most of all, Mazen worries about the children’s loss of education. They tell him they miss their friends and teachers, and the routine of school. He worries that they are forgetting everything they have learnt and that it will be years before they are back in normal classrooms, given so many schools have been destroyed in the war.
Mazen says the war has also impacted on his sons’ mental health and that they lose control easily over little things, they have lost their appetite for food and their motivation to learn.
Shadi and Basil attend a Save the Children learning and recreational space in the shelter where they live. Staff in the space aim to provide children with a sense of stabilization and run psychosocial and recreational activities. Save the Children staff will gradually introduce learning activities once children feel more comfortable and safer. Given the trauma children have experienced, it’s important to start with helping children to feel safe, build their resilience and to support them to express themselves.
