What is the significance of the objects used?  \n \n“Elementary and middle school students will attend. The audience will be Palestinian students either in Gaza or those who have evacuated to Egypt…Now that a ceasefire is in place\, the children are hopeful\, and are excited to get back to learning. Yet\, the emotional impact of the war persists\, and the neuroscience activities we will provide will hopefully support them.” \n \nSome research background on the war \nLEARN MORE: UN Special Committee finds Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza consistent with genocide\, including use of starvation as weapon of war \nLEARN MORE: Israeli necropolitics and the pursuit of health justice in Palestine \nLEARN MORE: Unbearable suffering: mental health consequences of the October 2023 Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip \nLEARN MORE: Civilian mortality and damage to medical facilities in Gaza \nLEARN MORE: Israel’s Unfolding Crime of Genocide of the Palestinian People & U.S. Failure to Prevent and Complicity in Genocide \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.
