LITERATURE REVIEW

2.2 SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES OF WARS

2.2.1 The negative social consequences of wars on the survival of the world’s population can be profound. Some of the five negative social consequences include:

  • Displacement and Refugees: Wars often force individuals and families to flee their homes, leading to large populations of refugees and internally displaced persons.
  • Loss of Lives and Injuries: Wars result in casualties, including deaths and injuries, affecting the overall population and healthcare systems.
  • Trauma and Mental Health Issues: Exposure to war-related violence and trauma can have long-lasting psychological effects on individuals and communities.
  • Disruption of Education: Wars disrupt educational systems, leading to a lack of access to schools and educational resources for children and youth.
  • Breakdown of Social Structures: Wars can cause the breakdown of social cohesion, traditional family structures, and community relationships, leading to social disintegration.

2.2.2 An environmental factor related to war that can contribute to poor health within the population is the contamination of water sources. During conflicts, infrastructure damage, and pollution from military activities can contaminate water bodies, leading to waterborne diseases and inadequate access to clean drinking water, thereby affecting the health of the population.

2.2.3 The global outbreak of wars disproportionately affects the poor in several ways:

  • Limited Resources: Poor populations have fewer resources to protect themselves during conflicts, leading to higher vulnerability.
  • Displacement and Homelessness: Poor communities are more likely to be displaced and struggle to find shelter and basic necessities.
  • Lack of Healthcare: Access to healthcare services is limited for the poor during conflicts, worsening health outcomes.
  • Food Insecurity: Wars disrupt agricultural activities, leading to food shortages and malnutrition among impoverished populations.
