Description
Or Segal, Hadas Hevron, and Noam Weinbach compare a 2026 study of teenagers living through the same war from different homes. Two hundred Israeli adolescents aged 14 to 18 were assessed four to eight months after the Israel-Hamas war began. Half had been internally displaced from high-risk areas, and half had stayed put, with similar backgrounds otherwise.
Displaced teens reported heavier emotional distress, driven mainly by stress and depression rather than anxiety alone. They also struggled more with regulating emotions and tolerated uncertainty less well. Those two difficulties statistically carried much of the link between displacement and distress. The authors, calling theirs the first such comparison during active war, urge targeted support for displaced adolescents that builds emotion skills and steadiness under uncertainty.
