Summary

This document is a situation report of the effects on children due to disasters and epidemics. The survey results are a direct reflection of how rates of inflation are disproportionately affecting children already living in the aftermath or on the precipice of disaster. The rising cost of living has forced many into a choice between food and almost everything else. Households are cutting back on education and limiting access to potentially expensive health care. Heightened financial pressures are raising household tensions, leaving children more exposed to all forms of violence. Without urgent action, climate change, conflict, hunger, and displacement will continue to rob children of their futures.
