In a poignant reflection of the psychological toll of war, an 8-year-old Palestinian girl Sama Tabil has shared her harrowing experience of losing her hair due to trauma stemming from the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

The girl recounted the distressing moments that led to her sudden hair loss, a condition known as alopecia areata, which can be triggered by severe stress and emotional upheaval.

The conflict, which has intensified in recent months, has left countless families in Gaza grappling with the consequences of violence, displacement, and loss.
