| On the Cover | Wars, famine, and natural disasters are plagues
that humans have yet to escape. In the chaos that ensues in
such situations, it is often the most vulnerable, particularly
children, who suffer the greatest. The Focus (p. A584) looks
at
a recent report that highlights the need to bring order and
consistency to the way in which children's health needs
are addressed in the midst of complex emergencies.
