This study investigated the relationship between war trauma, anxiety and posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) among preschool children in the Gaza Strip. It found that preschool children exposed to war-related incidents are at risk of developing PTSD and
anxiety problems, which highlights the need to establish programs for preschool children affected by traumatic events associated with war.
