Women are on the frontlines of caregiving, responsible for protecting children and older relatives in unsafe shelters, often while losing their own livelihoods—livestock, kitchen gardens, or home-based enterprises. They also face heightened risks of harassment and gender-based violence in overcrowded camps.

Children face disrupted education, exposure to contaminated water, and heightened risks of malnutrition and disease. For many, the trauma of losing homes and schools will have long-lasting effects.
