Children ‘Traumatized and Re-Traumatized by Drones’ in Yemen

“A report from a clinical and forensic psychologist just back from Yemen offers a disturbing picture of the horror drones have inflicted on children, who are ‘traumatized and re-traumatized’ by the strikes whose use ‘amounts to a form of psychological torture and collective punishment.’  The findings come from clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Peter Schaapveld, who presented his evidence of a ‘psychological emergency’ in the country as a result of drone strikes, and of the particularly heavy toll they have on the mental health of children, plagued with PTSD as the mental anguish from the deadly strikes last long after the sound of the unmanned aircraft above.”
