The forms and adverse effects of insecurities among internally displaced children in Ethiopia. BMC Public Health 23, 200 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-023-15109-9https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14078/3283Ethiopia has seen an increase in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to conflict and violence related to border-based disputes and climate change. This study examines the insecurities experienced by IDPs in the Burayu camp and how they navigate and challenge them. Violence and insecurity have daunted Ethiopian regions for decades, violated children’s rights, and impeded the achievement of the United Nation’s sustainable development goals related to children, such as good healthcare and mental health, quality education, clean water, and sanitation. The deteriorating security concerns in Ethiopia could also expose IDP children to poor health outcomes associated with a lack of access to healthcare services.enAttribution (CC BY)African childreninternally displaced childreninsecuritiessocial determinants of healthArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-023-15109-9
