This post is the second in a three-part series based on a 2023 qualitative study conducted by The Fund for Armenian Relief's (FAR's) Child Protection Center (CPC) to explore the psychological and social dynamics of forced displacement, using Armenia's integration of more than 115,000 displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) as a contemporary case study. In, we examined how displacement disrupts identity and belonging and efforts to understand the psychological impacts on both displaced individuals and host societies.
Hundreds of Palestinians have fled Gaza City, piling their few remaining possessions onto pick-up trucks and donkey carts as Israel's deadly bombings and forced displacement campaign intensifies in the area.
