Children have borne a great deal of the brunt of this disaster – caring for siblings and parents, scrounging for food and foregoing school. The Government of the Philippines, communities and NGOs must see, listen to and ask children for their inputs in times of disaster. It is their future, and children have much of value to contribute to its planning.
Save the Children spoke with children about their experiences during the typhoon, and their recommendations and priorities for response and assistance.
