Abstract
Children are a vulnerable group that is adversely affected physically, sociologically, and psychologically in natural disasters. The past natural disasters experienced by different countries at various times were lessons for all of the world, and there are important new lessons to be learned from natural disasters occurring in the aftermath of the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Not only does COVID-19 pose a continuing threat, but globally we are experiencing a rebound of common childhood infectious diseases due to disruption of immunization programs during the pandemic and removal of restrictions to reduce transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).[1] Data on pediatric health management are limited at this challenging time.[2] In this editorial article, post-natural disaster infections and prevention strategies will be considered after the last two devastating earthquakes (7.7 and 7.6 magnitudes) that occurred, on February 6, 2023, in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye.[3]
