Yet, as a result of war or other emergencies, hundreds of thousands of children around the world suffer this terrible experience. Over the last decade, more than 1 million children have been orphaned or separated from their families by armed conflict. Children who become separated from their families are more vulnerable to illness, exploitation, recruitment, and abuse. Without family support and protection, separated children are even more vulnerable to these threats and have fewer resources to help them rebuild their lives.
Following disasters, children who have been affected directly or indirectly through a family member are more likely to exhibit a decline in school performance. One of the primary causes of this adverse affect is a decrease in attention and concentration. Changes in sleeping situations, nutrition, and routines can cause decreased alertness or exhaustion, which contributes to the poorer performance levels. Children may worry about or constantly revisit the disaster event, or may be suffering from psychological trauma, both of which affect their ability to learn and process information.
