Devastating earthquakes and children rights (3)

10 February, 2023

Dear Gonca,

I am deeply sorry for the great earthquake and your losses and the negative consequences of the earthquake.

While Turkey is the country that accepts the most refugees and tries to ensure the rights of refugee children, it is very sad that this great earthquake happened. As far as I know, most of the refugees and their

children are in the southeastern part of Turkey. For them, this is a second severe crisis after the war and displacement. As social pediatricians, you will have a big responsibility to protect children's rights.
