WEATHER-RELATED disasters caused 43.1 million internal displacements of children in 44 countries over a six-year period — or approximately 20,000 child displacements a day — according to a new United Nations Children’s Fund analysis released on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.
This risk is exacerbated by the fact that the country’s coastlines are highly susceptible to storm surges, and it can impact even densely populated cities such as Manila, Cebu, and Davao.Decisions to move may be forced and abrupt in the face of disaster, or they may involve pre-emptive evacuation, which saves lives but can still cause children to face the dangers and challenges that come with being uprooted from their homes, often for extended periods.
