UNICEF Headquarters states it is essential that all unaccompanied and/or separated children are registered, traced and reunited with family where possible and appropriate. This includes children who were in alternative care, such as in crèches and “orphanages”, prior to the earthquake. Further, they state it is imperative that inappropriate and/or illegal removal of children from Haiti is prevented.
