Harmful effects of War

War adversely affects combatants and non-combatants alike, both physically and emotionally. Death, injury, violence, malnutrition, illness, and disability are some of the most threatening physical consequences of war. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety are some of the emotional effects. The terror and horror spread by the violence of war disrupts lives and severs relationships and families, leaving individuals and communities emotionally distressed.
