We use assessments from humanitarian agencies, including the United Nations, to determine how we can best support these vulnerable children.</p><p>The assessments reinforce that psychological trauma amongst children is acute in some of the world’s worst conflicts. In Syria, the annual UN Humanitarian Needs Overview states that 1 in 4 children are at risk of developing mental health disorders. In Iraq, UNICEF judges emotional distress as a critical issue for children fleeing or currently living under Daesh. Afghan children are at risk of psychological distress, particularly in urban areas. On Eritrea, the impact of conflict on children, particularly their mental health needs, continues to be assessed, with UNHCR conducting a thorough assessment of each Eritrean child arriving into Ethiopia.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 14/03/2017 17:19:38 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
