In Gaza, young survivors turn to drawing
Sixteen-year-old Maryam is among those using art to step outside the war.

Maryam, aged 16, sits over a blank sheet of paper with a pencil, and as she begins to draw her attention shifts away from the destruction around her.
For a few hours the paper becomes a different place.
Structured creative activity is used in psychosocial support programmes because it gives children a way to work through experience they cannot easily put into words.
