From 1900 there have been more than 9800 natural disasters affecting more than 67 million children worldwide. Because of unique physical, developmental, and psychosocial characteristics of children, caring for them during complex emergencies is different to caring for adults. However, planning for these unique physical, developmental, and psychosocial needs has not been well addressed when planning for complex emergencies. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review those characteristics of children that place them at higher disaster risk, and discuss the preparations necessary to meet their needs before, during, and in the aftermath of complex emergencies.
自1900年以来,已有9800多次自然灾害影响了全球6700多万儿童。由于儿童独特的身体、发育和心理社会特征,在复杂紧急情况下照顾他们与照顾成年人有所不同。然而,在为复杂紧急情况做规划时,针对这些独特的身体、发育和心理社会需求的规划并未得到很好的解决。因此,本文的目的是回顾那些使儿童面临更高灾害风险的特征,并讨论在复杂紧急情况发生前、期间和之后满足他们需求所需的准备工作。
