	Description:		Dr Samah Jabr is a world-renowned psychiatrist who has spent over twenty years practising in the West Bank and Gaza. In a powerful interview, she describes the psychological impact the war in Gaza is having on Palestinian children and their families. Dr Jabr says in a place where there are few resources and constant bombardment, collective approaches grounded in the community are the most useful ways to help a traumatised people. She also says maintaining a belief in the fundamental goodness of people is what gives Palestinians a sense of hope and resilience. Guest: Dr Samah Jabr, psychiatrist, former Director of Mental Health Services at the Palestinian Ministry of Health and author of Radiance in Pain and Resilience - The global reverberation of Palestinian historical trauma, published by Wakefield Press Producer: Catherine Zengerer *This story originally aired on 21 August 2025
