Children with autism and Down syndrome in Gaza have lost not only their homes but the specialised rehabilitation centres they depended on for therapy and daily routines. For six-year-old Hikmat Adwan, who has Down syndrome, the war erased two years of progress. Ten-year-old Yamen Abu Al-Khair is among many autistic children now receiving care in overcrowded makeshift tents. Teachers and families are attempting to continue occupational, speech and special education therapy in a single shared space, with severely limited resources.
