What is the situation of children with disabilities in conflict and humanitarian crisis settings?
Millions of children around the world have their education disrupted due to conflict and natural disasters. Although all children in crisis situations are at risk of learning loss, children with disabilities are uniquely vulnerable to being permanently denied an education when their support systems are affected.

In addition, conflicts and natural disasters may cause some children to acquire a disability due to physical injury, trauma, malnutrition, or preventable conditions, such as polio or tuberculosis.
