A medical technology support team member, places a pair of goggles on the face of a Palestinian youth, as the boys ready to experience virtual reality part of a medical technology initiative in the city of Al-Zawayda, in the central Gaza Strip on November 30, 2025, featuring therapy sessions using virtual reality technology, introduced due to the two-year-old war that was sparked by the Palestinian militant group Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, and Israel's retaliatory assault on the Gaza Strip. Children, traumatised by war have been given virtual reality headsets, to transport them from scenes of destruction to green gardens, tranquil beaches, and cities brimming with games, with the aim of helping to alleviate the psychological trauma they endure daily. One of the medical technology team members said the idea stemmed from the need to "change the harsh reality that children live in, even if only for a few hours, by giving them a chance to feel safe and joyful." These sessions rely on programs specifically designed for traumatised children, taking into account their physical and psychological condition and helping them rebuild positive perceptions of the world.
