The social research and psychological counseling team also presented several key recommendations, most notably:

• The urgent need for immediate intervention and the provision of all essential services for the surviving children.

• The importance of unified efforts among official bodies and community actors to support the children and help them restore their psychological and social stability.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the General Director, Dr. Abdel Jalil Ghrab, stressed the importance of continuing efforts on all levels to protect the surviving children and ensure they reach a safe and stable environment. He expressed his hope that the project will continue to grow in order to provide full care for this highly vulnerable group.
