UNICEF SA’s Chief of Communications, Toby Fricker says it really brings home the impact of COVID-19 on children specifically, but also on households broadly and on society as a whole. Fricker adds, “…It’s a massive number of children who have been affected by losing a loved one essentially. And what that means is the stress, the trauma, any child goes through they lose a parent or a primary or secondary caregiver. It’s extremely stressful, and it brings up a lot of issues that can last over many years; which is why it’s so important to provide the support, the protection, and most importantly the stability that these children need.
