Relief and guilt after Gazans find safety in Egypt

After enduring weeks of violence and uncertainty in Gaza, many Palestinians have found temporary refuge in Egypt. While the relief of escaping the conflict is undeniable, some survivors are grappling with feelings of guilt and trauma as they reflect on those left behind.

As families gather in makeshift shelters and aid workers distribute food and supplies, the overwhelming sense is one of gratitude for the safety found across the border. But for some, the relief is tinged with guilt as they think of the friends and family members who remain in Gaza, facing continued danger and hardship.

Psychologists and mental health professionals are on hand to offer support to those struggling with survivor’s guilt and post-traumatic stress. They emphasize the importance of processing emotions and seeking help when needed, to prevent long-term psychological damage.

Despite the challenges ahead, many Gazans are eager to rebuild their lives and find hope for a more peaceful future. The solidarity and support shown by neighboring countries like Egypt provide a glimmer of optimism amidst the devastation.
