Children and adults with disabilities are among the most marginalized people in any community affected by crisis. To make matters worse, they often are excluded from humanitarian assistance. While crises put children with disabilities at risk, they can also create opportunities. Damaged buildings and infrastructure can be rebuilt better and more accessible than before.

Including Children with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action consists of six booklets full of practical actions and tips. The booklets cover:
In addition to the PDF versions in English, Arabic and French, the guidance is also available in a range of accessible formats, including EPUB, a Braille-ready file and accessible HTML formats. These alternative formats provide greater accessibility and a rich reading experience to persons with disabilities.
