The post-9/11 wars have caused the deaths of over 3.5mn people through hunger, disease and other indirect effects.
That is the conclusion of a new report from the Costs of War project: How Death Outlives War: the reverberating impact of the Post-9/11 wars on human health.
Report author Stephanie Savell, co-director of the Costs of War project, says her goal is to build greater awareness of ‘the fuller human costs of these wars’ and to support calls for Western governments to address the ongoing suffering of millions of people in current and former war zones.
