Palestinian Artist Uses Circus to Heal Gaza's Children
An article highlights Palestinian youth Mohamed Salem, who uses circus arts—particularly the character "Uncle Tito"—to provide psychological support to children in Gaza affected by years of war and ongoing Israeli aggression. Despite daily challenges such as the destruction of his home and difficulties in securing basic needs, Salem paints a picture of hope and resistance to despair through his smile and educational messages. The figures reveal that since 2023, over 21,700 Palestinian children have been killed, and more than 45,000 others injured, with threats and dangers persisting for children even after the ceasefire in 2025. Salem and his peers remain vital in efforts to rehabilitate children psychologically, especially amid the destruction of healthcare and educational institutions. He emphasizes that art is an essential means of reviving hope and resilience among displaced persons and children in the Gaza Strip.
