This study investigated elevated rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among displaced Palestinian youth residing in Qatar. A cross-sectional study included 350 Palestinian children and adolescents aged 8\u201318 years displaced from Gaza. The Child PTSD Symptom Scale \u2013 Self-Report Version for DSM-5 (CPSS-5) and a Demographic and Resilience Questionnaire were used. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression identified factors associated with PTSD symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2056469426102198_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It was found that 54.9% of participants met the threshold for probable PTSD (CPSS-5 score \u226531).
