Civilian Impact

Civilian impact refers to how military operations or conflicts affect everyday people who are not involved in fighting, such as residents, workers, and families. This can include damage to homes and infrastructure, disruption of services, economic hardships, and safety threats. Assessing civilian impact helps ensure that military actions consider the well-being of civilians and aim to minimize harm, following international laws and ethical standards. It highlights the importance of protecting innocent lives and reducing unintended suffering during conflicts.
