has warned that an estimated 19 million internally displaced children globally are among the world’s most vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UN organisation, in a statement on Tuesday, said globally, an estimated 19 million children, including Nigerians, are living in displacement within their own countries due to conflict and violence in 2019. “When a new crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic emerges, displaced children are especially vulnerable and the gaps in our ability to keep them safe are even more stark. We must urgently work together – all of us, government and humanitarian partners – to keep them safe, healthy, learning and protected,” Mr Hawkins said.
