Displaced children face significant physical and mental health challenges, including malnutrition, infectious diseases, and mental health disorders. These children often experience trauma, loss, and separation from family members, leading to long-term psychological distress. The prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression is particularly high among this population. The lack of access to basic necessities like healthcare, education, and sanitation exacerbates their physical and mental health issues. The review emphasises the need for targeted intervention to address the unique needs of displaced children, such as providing access to healthcare services, psychosocial support, and education in school settings. The findings of this review have important implications for policymakers, healthcare providers, and humanitarian organisations working with displaced children. By understanding the complex health needs of this population, effective strategies can be developed to support their physical and mental health and promote their resilience in the face of adversity. Comprehending the intricate health requirements of displaced children facilitates the formulation of effective strategies to bolster their resilience in challenging circumstances.
