Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 34
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Consequently, international organizations and aid agencies often take up the slack and provide varied types and levels of child protection during and after a natural disaster. Several organizations and aid agencies are at the helm of emergency response efforts. These entities provide child protection services in accordance with sometimes distinctly diverse mandates and operational approaches. These services include the provision of rapid-response facilities to relieve the suffering of children and their caregivers; development-driven immediate and long-term relief and preparedness tools - such as family tracing kits - or services to prevent separation; humanitarian assistance, including restoring family links, reuniting families and searching for missing persons; protection and care for specific groups of children, such as refugees and those who are internally displaced; and emergency water and sanitation, shelter, health services, education, psycho-social care and protection for vulnerable children and youth.
