The National Children’s Commission says it is impressed with the level of care and protection that children at the Mwanza evacuation centre are receiving.
Commissioner Lyka Milanzi told Linga FM Online that the commission met Social Welfare and DoDMA officials on Friday to appreciate the services and relief assistance being provided to children who are coming into the country from South Africa.
Milanzi said a child-friendly space has been established where children are looked after while their parents access services and collect their belongings.
She added that children are also receiving food, health services and vaccinations, and no cases of missing children have been reported.
She commended stakeholders for the support and encouraged parents and guardians to register their children before returning to their respective districts.
