Military attacks on civilian populations have displaced more than 250,000 children, who join the roughly 130,000 children in protracted displacement and the more than half million child refugees from Myanmar in neighboring countries. The junta has arbitrarily detained over 1,400 children with at least 61 children currently being held hostage by the junta. Junta forces have tortured at least 142 children since the coup was launched. They have beaten, cut and stabbed children, burned them with cigarettes, forced them to hold stress positions, subjected them to mock executions, and deprived them of food and water. 33,000 children could die preventable deaths in 2022 alone, merely because they have not received routine immunizations. 1.3 million children and more than 700,000 pregnant or breastfeeding women require nutritional support. 7.8 million children remain out of school.

Refugee populations are at high risk of experiencing trauma and developing negative mental health outcomes. The resilience of Syrian refugee children is not well established as far as modifying the association between trauma and mental illness. A total of 339 Syrian refugee children aged 10 to 17 were surveyed to assess resilience, depression and history of trauma. All children reported exposure to at least one traumatic event, 48.6% reported exposure to highly salient traumatic events such as being held hostage, kidnapping or imprisonment. High rates of suicidal ideation and depression symptomatology were found. Resilience was strongly inversely related to depression. Relational support was found to be the most protective resilience factor and was the most highly correlated with less depressive symptomatology. Empowering children and families to build resilience through social support may be a viable prevention and management approach to other unaffordable or unavailable treatments for mental illnesses.
U.S. Attorney Weiss said, "The pursuit of justice takes many forms. Few cases illustrate this principle more clearly than this one-where investigators followed a drug operation in Bear, Delaware to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and then to Sinaloa, Mexico, ultimately leading to the rescue of a U.S. Citizen held hostage by an alleged member of the Sinaloa Cartel. The collaboration between local, state, federal, and Mexican officials in this case is unprecedented and demonstrates what can be accomplished when agencies selflessly work towards a single objective. Finally, I want to express our deep appreciation to the Mexican prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and military personnel for their critical assistance."
In addition to the high prevalence of depression, it was also found that all Syrian refugee children in this group had been exposed to a form of trauma with nearly half endorsing exposure to at least one highly salient traumatic event. As expected, there was a significant relationship between history of trauma and depression, but the correlation was not as strong as in prior work. However when severe trauma was used, there was a stronger association. This weaker association could reflect the measure not accurately capturing childhood trauma history. When interviewed, children frequently did not endorse exposure to all of the traumatic events that their primary caregiver stated they had been exposed to. One might suggest that if a child does not recall or endorse exposure to a traumatic event then it may not be playing as significant of a role in their psychological well-being, but the impact of trauma on child development and mental health is arguably far more complicated. Future studies should consider using measures with a child and caregiver component to assess exposure to trauma more accurately. While the impact score was less than expected, the relationship between trauma and depression was significant which supports the long-held understanding that exposure to trauma in childhood predisposes children to experience symptoms of depression [10]. The current sample was not followed up for progression of symptoms, but this population is at high risk of having persistence of these symptoms throughout their lives, hindering their readjustment into their new communities and ultimately developing into negative mental health outcomes.
The Three Hostages is the fourth of five Richard Hannay novels by Scottish author John Buchan. England is at peace after the end of World War I.

"I was a political prisoner and a hostage, but there are people who are held hostage in everyday life, and that's so important that people understand that when you lose a job, there's a family crisis, kids don't turn out the way you want, this can turn you into a hostage to that situation," she said. "I didn't deal with it any differently than people deal with the things that they're dealt in everyday life. Mine just happened to be very public."
In recent years, voting on the debt ceiling has often been fraught with controversy, with legislation to increase it held hostage to force action on other matters, or simply to gain political advantage. These disputes have occurred despite the fact that raising the debt ceiling is necessary to cover previous spending already approved by Congress, and even the threat of default is enough to impact financial markets, increasing government borrowing costs.
