Arab, Jewish & Muslim Film And TV Workers Have Suffered Mental Health Declines Since Israel-Gaza Crisis Began — UK Survey
Arab, Muslim and Jewish UK TV and film staff's mental health has suffered following October 7 and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a charity says.
Almost every person of Arab, Muslim and Jewish heritage working in TV and film has experienced a deterioration in their mental health following Hamas’ October 7 attack and the subsequent humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a leading charity has reported. “In November last year, we committed to exploring the mental health and wellbeing of people affected by the conflict and unfolding humanitarian crisis taking place in Israel and Gaza,” said Marcus Ryder, CEO at the Film and TV Charity.
