Older adults in humanitarian settings experience diverse mental health symptoms, with critical differences by sex and displacement status. Women were more likely than men to present with mood-related symptoms and to report experiences of sexual trauma and abuse. Displacement significantly heightens exposure to violence and mental health presentations for both women and men. These findings underscore the urgent need to strengthen protection systems and ensure access to gender-sensitive mental health interventions for older populations.
