This article aims to understand how children’s vulnerabilities function in humanitarian aid programmes. Different types of vulnerabilities that emerged as a result of and in response to the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster (1986) during recuperation of the affected children from Belarus in their Italian host families are examined. It is shown that while the initiation of aid was based on directly disaster-related vulnerabilities (radiation-related vulnerabilities), the outcomes of this aid were influenced by indirectly disaster-related vulnerabilities (social vulnerabilities).

私人人道主义对灾害脆弱性的反应：来自意大利白俄罗斯的切尔诺贝利儿童

本文旨在了解儿童的脆弱性如何在人道主义援助计划中发挥作用。研究了切尔诺贝利核灾难（1986年）造成的和针对切尔诺贝利核灾难的后果所造成的各种类型的脆弱性，这些脆弱性来自白俄罗斯的寄宿家庭中，受影响的儿童康复。结果表明，尽管援助的发起是基于与灾害直接相关的脆弱性（与辐射有关的脆弱性），但这种援助的结果却受到与灾害间接相关的脆弱性（社会脆弱性）的影响。
