Armed conflicts destroy families. Children witness horrific events and experience psychological, which is exacerbated further by disruptions in basic necessities
such as food, water, and shelter.
Starvation is possible, and malnutrition is commonplace. Deprivation of this magnitude affects deeply the physical, mental and intellectual development of children,
leading to a variety of issues.
The most common diseases are those caused by nutrient deficiencies and digestive disorders (deficiency anemia, rickets, hypovitaminosis, and many more).
Post-traumatic stress may cause disorders such as neurosis, psychosomatic illnesses, urinary incontinence, anxiety, and memory issues.
Addressing these war-related conditions is difficult not only because of the ongoing conflict, but also because there is a catastrophic shortage of doctors, equipment,
and medicines in the villages and towns of Ukraine. The situation is even worse
in the regions directly affected by hostilities. People are left without the opportunity
to receive the most necessary medical care.
