Our world is crisis-ridden, and millions of people are suffering each day. Today, over 110 armed conflicts are taking place around the world. These conflicts, driven by regional wars, foreign interventions, attacks on civilians, and other factors, directly impact 14% of the world's population.

As violence surrounds civilian areas, it leads to the destruction of critical
infrastructure, contamination of food and water supplies, and exacerbates extreme poverty, according to research conducted by grassroots action platform Global Citizen.

Each of the following conflicts has resulted in a massive humanitarian crisis, leaving millions of people without access to basic needs due to violence and political instability. Many of these conflicts have led to the widespread displacement of millions of innocent civilians.

As a result of these current conflicts, according to Global Citizen, the world's largest refugee crisis is currently underway, with an estimated 114 million people displaced worldwide due to conflict, persecution, and human rights violations.
