The social problems of war and its effects on the Palestinian family

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the problems of social war and its effects on the Palestinian family. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical approach was relied upon, and the intentional sample was selected from (25) male and female family cases in the governorates of the Gaza Strip; and the in-depth individual interview tool, focused discussion groups (focus groups) and participatory observation were applied. The study added that the war affected the stability of family members and harmed their living conditions Their demographic situation was disturbed by the ongoing forced displacement from their places of residence to areas that lack the most basic necessities of life, and their feeling of fear and insecurity in achieving an adequate living for the family with the increase in daily burdens on them, and their deprivation of food resources that led to a severe shortage of food and caused them severe malnutrition and the spread of famine that killed them from food insecurity, and their deprivation of the right to education Depriving them of health care services, which led to serious health complications, caused their death without treatment, and the loss of their minimum legitimate rights to equality, and limited their exit from shelters on social media, this doubled the social problems. In light of the results, we recommend the necessity of working to stop the war on Gaza as soon as possible to confront the problems of the social war and its effects on the Palestinian family.
