How much local conflicts threaten peace and make living in these places dangerous

Local conflicts between various armed groups lead to countless acts of violence and cause destruction. Civilian population faces the risks of extortion, robbery, kidnapping, and even murder. Hospitals and schools often close in such areas. In addition, continuous fighting disrupts normal economic life, which affects all areas of life, and may cause severe problems such as food shortage. Usually, there is no stable government on such territories, so people don’t even know where to turn for help. That is why living in these places is very difficult and highly dangerous.
