In my research at YIVO I've been getting into the RG 123 collection which is just hundreds of folders from random old NY Jewish mutual aid societies. Was interested to see a woman drummer & bandleader which are both quite rare among all the old docs I've been looking at. Shirley Baron of Queens/ the Bronx.

Thousands of children in Gaza have lost their families and homes due to Israeli bombardments, leaving many orphaned.

Many children require urgent mental health care as they suffer from trauma, depression and anxiety. Some are the sole survivors of their families. And with most health facilities destroyed, the wounded children lack proper medical care.

Many now live with blast injuries, amputations or disabilities.

"For the children of Gaza, the carnage is unprecedented in recent history. Over 14,500 children have been killed since October 2023, according to the health ministry. Of the 1.9 million people — 9 out of 10 residents in Gaza — who have been internally displaced, half of them are children, according to UNICEF. Many of the children who survived, belong to a new generation of Palestinian orphans.

Mohammad is part of that generation. Occasionally, the mothers of other children receiving treatment alongside him feed him and help him to use the bathroom. Aziza Hamid, whose own child is receiving treatment at Nasser hospital after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike, told Drop Site she tries to take care of Mohammad, bringing him things like soup, pies and juice, when she can find it. He often eats alone.

"I contacted Mohammad's grandmother who lives in Gaza City, and she asked me to take care of him and take him with me to our house when his treatment is complete, until the war ends," she said.

Mohammad is one of approximately 20,000 orphaned children who have lost one or both parents since Israel’s war on Gaza began 15 months ago, according to Ismail Al-Thawabtah, director general of the Government Media Office. More than 40% of families in Gaza are taking care of children not their own, he added."
