Children in the local area are still experiencing profound distress after recent earthquakes. The traumatic event has left a lasting impact on thousands of young people. Many have lost their homes, schools, and loved ones, including friends, family members, and teachers.

The need for support is urgent, particularly psychosocial support, to help children recover from their experiences. Without this support, children may struggle to feel safe and may have difficulty learning and thriving. Further details on the situation and the response to it are available from the Norwegian Refugee Council, which has issued a statement on the matter.
