Armed conflicts worldwide result in significant loss of life, affecting both military personnel and civilians. These conflicts can be between nations, within countries (civil wars), or involve non-state actors like insurgent groups and terrorist organizations. Death tolls vary depending on the scale, duration, and intensity of the conflict, as well as the availability of healthcare and humanitarian aid. Some of the highest death tolls in recent years have come from conflicts in regions such as the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe, including Syria, Yemen, and Ukraine. Deaths from armed conflicts also include indirect causes like starvation, disease, and displacement.
