The effects of armed conflict on the health of women and children

Eran Bendavid et al.

Summary: Armed conflicts cause significant morbidity and mortality for women and children, leading to millions of displacements and an increase in the number of women and children living dangerously close to conflict areas. Mortality risk for women and children from non-violent causes significantly rises in conflict zones, with more intense conflicts resulting in greater mortality increases. Limited systematic evidence exists on the indirect effects of armed conflict on the survival of women and children, hindering the design and implementation of essential interventions.
