Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
is known for
its life-saving work.

00:00:05:44 – 00:00:08:49
But another important
part of our job...

00:00:09:00– 00:00:11:46
Is to help children like Rasha

00:00:11:47 – 00:00:15:39
recover from emotional trauma.

00:00:16:34– 00:00:20:42
Rasha is from Mosul in northern Iraq.

00:00:20:44– 00:00:24:18
During the conflict with the Islamic State (IS) group

00:00:25:04 - 00:00:28:15
Rasha saw and heard things that terrified her.

00:00:30:18 – 00:00:35:08
Bullets and shrapnel came into

00:00:35:09 - 00:00:39:44
our house and our neighbour’s (house).

00:00:39:45 – 00:00:42:24
My mum was afraid for us so we went to my uncle’s house.

00:00:43:25 - 00:00:45:40
They were safe for one night.

00:00:45:41 - 00:00:50:20
In the morning, Rasha’a uncle, Ali, went outside to see if they could leave.

00:00:50:21 – 00:00:54:28
Then my father yelled: “Ali Ali Ali”.

00:00:54:29 - 00:00:57:45
But Ali didn’t answer.

00:00:57:46 - 00:01:01:09
Then my father went out.

00:01:01:10 - 00:01:04:11
And saw my uncle killed near the car.

00:01:04:12 - 00:01:07:10
Then I saw shocked and became traumatised.

00:01:09:30 – 00:01:14:16
Rasha and her family escaped Mosul and fled to a camp.

00:01:14:17 - 00:01:19:14
But Rasha – like many children
from Mosul – couldn't
recover from the trauma
of seeing a family member die.

00:01:19:15 - 00:01:23:26
Usually we see aggressiveness in children because

sometimes they feel powerless of what happened

00:01:27:03 - 00:01:29:45
that they cannot change anything

00:01:29:46 - 00:01:29:46
and there's fear, and nightmares and sadness

00:01:34:07 - 00:01:37:11
and avoidance of what happened.

00:01:37:12 - 00:01:45:45
MSF in Iraq provides mental healthcare
to help people recover
from years of violence, including
the recent conflict.

00:01:45:46 –
00:01:50:09
Rasha has been seeing MSF psychologists for the past few months.

00:01:50:10 - 00:01:56:19
She has started to relax, and smile and play again.

00:01:57:21 – 00:02:01:36
MSF helped me and treated me.

00:02:01:37 - 00:02:05:25
And now I am better.

00:02:05:26 - 00:02:09:31
I am now like my old self. What I was before IS came.
