               • During the child friendly activities, the basic mental and behavioral assessment was addressed through the expression of children in activity and socially participatory manner. Should there be any sign of psychosocial problems, the case would be referred to psychosocial program for further appropriate assistance. According to our observation, most of the children preferred drawing the pictures related to the fire incident and current situation in the camp like helicopter, military officers, etc.
