A Palestinian child has shared a personal account of fear, displacement and survival with Angelina Jolie, describing life under intense bombardment in Gaza and the sense of safety felt after reaching Egypt.
According to sources, the child recounted moments of terror during air strikes, the loss experienced amid the conflict, and the psychological toll of living through repeated attacks.
The testimony also described the contrast between constant fear in Gaza and relative security after crossing into Egypt.
Jolie, who has long been involved in humanitarian advocacy, listened attentively as the child spoke, highlighting the human cost of the ongoing war and its impact on children.
The account reflects the broader experiences reported by humanitarian organisations, which have warned of widespread trauma, displacement and long-term psychological harm among children affected by the conflict.
Advocates stress that beyond casualty figures and statistics, individual testimonies underscore the urgent need for protection of civilians and accountability under international law.
