A/HRC/19/63 for the Welfare of Children and established rapid registration activities to facilitate family tracing for missing, separated and unaccompanied children. In Haiti, UNICEF and its partners registered more than 5,000 children who were separated or unaccompanied following the earthquake in 2010. UNICEF worked with the Child Protection Brigade of the Haitian Police to verify the documents of 11,774 children at border crossings and the international airport; more than 2,500 irregular voyages were recorded, nearly 460 of which proved to be cases of trafficking, while close to 50 were found to be instances of forced labour.30 Also in Haiti, Save the Children supported the Government in the registration of separated and unaccompanied children, and those who were born after the earthquake.31 (b) Safe and temporary evacuation 47. Few first-response entities have the knowledge or capacity to follow protocols that can reduce the risks faced by children in the process of evacuation. 32 Children may be moved out of immediate danger, but left in the care of individuals or institutions without any record of their evacuation, identity or location. (c) Spaces for children 48. Following a natural disaster, surviving children are at greater risk for exploitation due to poor camp design and security. Emergency camps and temporary shelters are often established without attention to a design that would provide safe and secure rest, play and wash areas for children – particularly those who are separated or unaccompanied–, and minimize the chance of accidental separation of children from their families. 49. Children may have to go outside the camp or shelter to collect water, firewood or other sources of fuel. The combination of lack of supervision and the ever-increasing distance a child must travel from their shelter to find fuel or water places them at greater risk of abduction. 50. After the flooding in Pakistan in 2010, UNICEF provided stationary and mobile child-friendly spaces in affected areas of Sindh. It supported weekly community sensitization and the mobilization of “flotilla vans” that provided information to the children of a community before the arrival of the mobile child-friendly spaces.33 In 2006, Save the Children established child-friendly spaces in Lebanon where children could safely play and learn. Staff also introduced information on landmine awareness into the curricula.34 (d) Prevention of separation 51. It is easy for children, particularly young and disabled children, to become separated from their families in a natural disaster when all attention is focused on dealing with the immediate impact. Children may also become unaccompanied if their families lack the capacity or assistance to care for them. 30 31 32 33 34 UNICEF’s response to the questionnaire.
