Children unlike adults are affected uniquely by conflicts and emergencies however; they could facilitate quick and lasting recovery efforts by members of the community. Children find themselves in vulnerable situations during emergencies and bear the greatest brunt of disasters because of their vulnerability. As such, these children are exposed to displacement, separation, discrimination, forced labor, sexual and economic exploitation, trafficking and conflicts. Child protection measures have to be undertaken from the onset of emergency to ensure their wellbeing is guarded.
