Thanks for sharing this. It is clearly an issue of “quality of life” for
children and their families that forces them to get on a boat towards an
uncertain future with the hope of improving it.
Unfortunately, many who face the harsh sea may die or end up in a camp or a
hiding location/drain, where they try to survive. The world needs to get
together empathetic leaders/policy makers who value human life and create
conducive environments where a child born anywhere has the chance to
thrive.
Till then, child refugees deserve all the opportunities that will allow
them to thrive wherever they land. That requires empathetic policies and
regulations for accepting refugees. If we can spend on wars, we can also
spend on peace.
Sincerely,
Shabina
