These countries have faced many challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the fallout from the conflict in Syria, and the war in Ukraine. These crises have had far-reaching consequences, affecting the economy, food security, and energy supplies, particularly with the increased number of refugees in these countries. Amid these existing complexities, the ongoing war in Gaza further exacerbates the situation, compounding mental health challenges. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze how the war in Gaza impacted the mental health of students in Egypt and Jordan.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional study involving students from Egypt and Jordan between December 2023 and January 2024.

Approximately 18% of the students had an elevation (\u2265\u200950) in their BSI-18 total score. Females scored significantly higher in general distress [30 (18\u201344.25) vs. 24 (11\u201341),\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001], and all three dimensions.

These three predictors were retained in the backward stepwise multivariate regression analysis model. The univariate predictors for moderate and marked general distress (\u2265\u200957) were watching social media multiple times a day (OR 3.26, 95% CI 1.78 to 5.99,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and having a Palestinian connection (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.14,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.026).
