These sessions, organized by the Collective Development Projects, provide a platform for women to share experiences, seek psychological aid, and discuss ways to cope with the stresses of war. The article notes that approximately 16,000 women have lost their husbands since the war began in October 2023, leaving many to manage households alone. The initiative aims to offer both emotional and practical assistance, with plans to expand to other areas of Gaza.
