#ChildrenTheHiddenPandemic Covid19 threatens children's current and future well.
The rapidity with which Covid19 can cause serious illness and death, leaves little time to prepare children for the trauma of bereavement. Children experiencing the unauticipated death of a caregiver often suffer psychosocial distress, mental health problems, and material hardship and, they are at increased risk of physical, emotional and sexual violence. Such consequences may be even more severe for children in reguee or other humanitarian settings. There adverse experience in turn increase their life-long risks of suicide, disease such as HIV/AIDS, adolescent pregnancy, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and early death.
