Children

Young and Innocent

Of the 36.4 million people of concern to UNHCR, almost half are children. They include children who are refugees, asylum seekers and stateless as well as returnee and internally displaced children assisted and protected by UNHCR. The refugee agency is dedicated to addressing the needs of all children of its concern. Together with other organizations, it aims to provide protection, food, water, shelter, health care, education and to ensure their safety, development and well-being.
