Abstract

Natural disasters around the globe have affected humankind in many ways especially vulnerable people. Various kinds of disasters have exposed vulnerable people to multiple risks and hazards, depending on the factors. This article seeks to analyse violations of the rights of vulnerable people survivors of disasters. Through qualitative research, this study adopts descriptive methodology to explain the situation of vulnerable population affected by disaster and their rights under the law. This study shows that survivors of disasters experience rampant infringement of human rights due to negligence and mistreatment of the parties and the survivors’ own ignorance and lack of knowledge.
