Witnessing such horror naturally leads to intense psychological suffering. Many children feel guilt or shame of having survived while their family members have not. This is a real tragedy. The upheaval of being uprooted and the continuous insecurity in the host country, coupled with the separation from family is detrimental to the physical, psychological and social development of the child.” Joel Manfo Trauma Centre Cameroon page 16 65 – 69 Age not known
