description Coronavirus pandemic exacerbates challenges for refugees’ children and their families. It burdens refugees with additional threats and has impacts in all fields of their life. The pandemic seems to be affecting refugee protection policies as well as intercepting any effort to integrate them socially.

Promoting refuge’s mental health seems to be imperative for a future harmonious coexistence in a society that promotes acceptance of diversity and multicultural differences.
