NGO Save the Children reported this Wednesday that “adoption is not an adequate response for unaccompanied children” after the earthquakes that have affected Turkey and Syria, at least until local authorities and humanitarian organizations exhaust all efforts to find and reunite them with their families.
Viral Images Minors rescued from rubble in Syria and Turkey triggered an “avalanche of offers” from families around the world to adopt children.
“It is natural to see these heartbreaking footage and want to help in any way possible, but adoption should never take place during or immediately after an emergency such as the recent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey,” said the acting director of Global Child Protection. Save the Children InternationalRebecca Smith.
In this sense, the organization explains that affected families, local networks, humanitarian organizations and local authorities are working to reunite them with their immediate or extended families, as perhaps due to limited mobile phone reception, downed power lines and damaged infrastructure, before still haven’t been able to do it.
“It is necessary to ensure that children, in the event of the loss of their direct relatives, have someone close to take care of them, always with due guarantees and based on the legislation of the country,” said the Director of Awareness. and Save the Children Policy on Children, Catalina Perazzo.
A similar situation in Syria
For its part, World Vision also expressed “deep concern” about the “serious” situation of unaccompanied children in Syria following the earthquake.
“The number of unaccompanied children is increasing every day as search and rescue teams continue to find unaccompanied minors or even babies trapped under the rubble after the earthquake, as we have seen in the last few hours,” the report explains. World Vision director Eloise Molina.
According to the first NGO estimates, their age ranges from a few days to eight years; and most of them do not have identity documents, making it even more difficult for them to reunite with loved ones.
“Syrian boys and girls are again at risk of being forgotten after this crisis. They have already endured nearly 12 years of war and destruction, and this earthquake has made their young lives difficult, and in some cases even taken away their loved ones. We urgently need to address the needs of unaccompanied children,” said Johan Muij, director of response for World Vision in Syria.
