Her health is deteriorating under what her father calls \u201cengineered starvation\u201d imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Rewan could survive the starvation, Aldreini believes, \u201cif she gets better nutrition and the war stops\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But genetic researchers warn that even if she survives, Rewan is likely to face long-term health problems &#8211; not only her, but potentially her future children as well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Historical evidence<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Over the past two decades, research into historic famines and traumas &#8211; from the Holocaust to the Great Chinese Famine and the Rwandan genocide &#8211; has shown that such suffering leaves lasting genetic imprints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While starvation, stress and trauma do not mutate DNA, they still mark it with chemical changes that affect how genes are expressed, without altering the underlying sequence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This process is known as epigenetics, where the weight of war is passed down across generations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">During the Nazi occupation, food supplies were cut off from the western parts of the Netherlands between 1944 and 1945, causing widespread starvation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Decades later, researchers found that children born to pregnant women exposed to the famine faced higher risks of serious health problems later in life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cStudies show that stress hormones in the mothers affect the babies\u2019 bodies and brains,\u201d\u00a0said Professor Tessa Roseboom, a biologist at the University of Amsterdam who led\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maturitas.org\/article\/S0378-5122(11)00233-7\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research<\/a>\u00a0on the Dutch famine\u2019s genetic impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve also studied how fathers living in unsafe, stressful, and malnourished conditions affect their babies,\u201d Roseboom added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In 2015, a prominent study\u00a0led by Rachel Yehuda focused on 32 Holocaust survivors and their children, finding evidence of the epigenetic inheritance of stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThe gene changes in the children could only be attributed to Holocaust exposure in the parents,\u201d Yehuda\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2015\/aug\/21\/study-of-holocaust-survivors-finds-trauma-passed-on-to-childrens-genes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Double impact in Gaza<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Due to the ongoing Israeli blockade, there has been no direct research yet into the presence of epigenetic markers in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But scientists are already drawing parallels with cases from the Netherlands, China, and among Jewish Holocaust survivors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIn Gaza, the current conditions are so harmful that they may cause lasting damage to children&#8217;s health &#8211; and to future generations &#8211; even if peace comes soon,\u201d Roseboom told MEE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dr Leon Mutesa, a leading researcher at the University of Rwanda, whose work focuses on the epigenetic legacy of the 1994 genocide, shares a similar outlook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cToday in Gaza, we already see symptoms: fear, stress, and high cholesterol levels &#8211; all early indicators of coming epigenetic changes, similar to what we observed in Rwanda,\u201d Mutesa told MEE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Research in \u200bRwanda began after it was noticed that children born during the genocide carried the weight of their mothers\u2019 trauma,\u00a0\u00a0Mutesa explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This was manifested in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, hallucinations and other psychiatric disorders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIn war zones like Gaza, the impact is doubled. Additional layers of suffering, starvation, displacement, and ongoing violence compound collective trauma. These conditions leave even deeper negative epigenetic marks,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">According to estimates by Palestinian health officials, Israeli forces have killed at least 20,000 children since the war on Gaza began two years ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Unicef says over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/press-releases\/unimaginable-horrors-more-50000-children-reportedly-killed-or-injured-gaza-strip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">50,000<\/a>\u00a0children have reportedly been killed or wounded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In August alone,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/press-releases\/devastating-rate-child-malnutrition-gaza-strip-august-surpasses-july-record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12,800<\/a>\u00a0children were identified as acutely malnourished, in a famine the UN has \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/document\/ocha-ohchr-wfp-who-press-briefing-22aug25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">irrefutably<\/a>\u201d confirmed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These conditions are likely to leave severe and long-lasting epigenetic damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI believe Gazans will suffer catastrophic imprints, perhaps even more severe than what we observed in case studies of earlier atrocities,\u201d said Professor Hassan Khatib, an expert in epigenetics at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThere is no doubt that a genetic disaster awaits the people of Gaza, especially pregnant women and adolescent boys during puberty, a critical stage in which sperm is formed,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Khatib said recent studies on sheep showed that a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/pnasnexus\/article\/1\/2\/pgac040\/6568568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">father&#8217;s diet<\/a>\u00a0can affect traits like muscle growth and disease risk, with effects passed down for two generations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2018\u2019What is happening will result in a future disaster that we will see in the generations growing up in Gaza, because the Strip is witnessing many complex factors that put negative pressure on people there,\u2019 Khatib added.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">One solution<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After reviewing Rewan\u2019s case and her family\u2019s medical history, specialists concluded that she faces a significantly heightened risk of serious health complications due to epigenetic impacts, echoing findings from past studies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIt\u2019s clear this child isn\u2019t receiving the essential nutrients needed for her development,\u201d said Roseboom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThat will likely affect her metabolism and leave her vulnerable to diabetes or heart disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dr Mutesa agrees. \u201cRewan\u2019s genes are being altered by war and starvation. She and her future children will suffer as a result,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Studies point to one clear solution for the looming crisis: \u201cStop the war,\u201d Mutesa said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWe observed that some Rwandans exposed to the genocide began to improve once the violence ended and support was provided,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Research also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/nrg2045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shows<\/a>\u00a0that lifestyle and environment play a powerful role in influencing epigenetic markers. In other words, positive changes, safe living conditions, access to food, healthcare, and support can help repair some of the damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWe need action from the international community to stop the suffering in Gaza,\u201d said Roseboom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThis conflict isn\u2019t just about the present moment; it\u2019s creating life-long consequences for children like Rewan, and potentially for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While the damage already done may be irreversible for some, scientists agree that much can still be prevented if the right support is provided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Safety, medical care, nutrition, and social stability are key to saving Rewan\u2019s life and the lives of countless other children like her in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWhile I watch my children\u2019s health deteriorate &#8211; and as my wife and I struggle with diabetes and high blood pressure &#8211; I still dare to dream this genocide will end,\u201d said Rewan\u2019s father, Aldreini.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThat we can return to a normal life &#8211; as human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Additional reporting by Islam Ahmed in the Gaza Strip<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Link : https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/gaza-generations-children-face-lifelong-genetic-damage-israel-genocide<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists warn war and starvation will alter Gaza children\u2019s genes, risking lasting harm for future generations.
