The international refugee crisis deepens, exposing millions of displaced children to extreme psychological trauma. This research suggests a compact, AI - based framework for processing unstructured refugee health data and distilling knowledge on child mental health. We compare two Retrieval - Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, Zephyr - 7B - beta and DeepSeek R1 - 7B, to determine how well they process challenging humanitarian datasets while avoiding hallucination hazards. By combining cutting - edge AI methods with migration research and child psychology, this study presents a scalable strategy to assist policymakers, mental health practitioners, and humanitarian agencies to better assist displaced children and recognize their mental wellbeing. In total, both the models worked properly but significantly Deepsee k R1 is superior to Zephyr with an accuracy of answer relevance 0.91 Keywords: Retrieval - Augmented Generation, Zephyr - 7B - beta, DeepSeek R1 - 7B, Answer Relevance, Hallucination, LLM as a Judge, Refugee Crises
