Some of these children spent years displaced. At this event, they got to sit with their parents and just... draw. No pressure. No fear. Just color and imagination. I watched them express what words can't. This is what mental health support looks like. #WorldMentalHealthDay

"حتى الجنود على الجبهات يطالبون باحترام قواعد الحرب." في هذا المقطع، توضح رئيسة اللجنة الدولية حقيقة من أرض الواقع: لا أحد يتمنى غياب هذه القواعد، سواء كان جندياً يخشى الأسر، أو عائلة تبحث عن مفقوديها ولا تتمنى الأذى لغيرها. المقابلة الكاملة على @BBC 👇 ms.spr.ly/6018ads8I
