Article by Mohammed R. Mhawish for The New Yorker combining narrative reporting with interviews with mental health professionals and statistical data to examine the collapse of Gaza's mental health infrastructure under the genocide. Mhawish documents the experiences of psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors working under bombardment and siege, the overwhelming gap between demand for mental health services and available capacity, and the compounding of individual trauma by collective, intergenerational, and political dimensions specific to the Palestinian experience. Recommended for researchers, educators, and general audiences as one of the most accessible and powerful accounts of the mental health crisis in Gaza, with The New Yorker's narrative format and Mhawish's direct reporting from Gaza combining human depth with empirical grounding in a way that makes complex public health dynamics legible to non-specialist audiences.
