Civilians in Conflict

Civilians in conflict are non-military people living in areas affected by war or violence. They include families, children, and community members who are not combatants. Their safety and well-being are often at risk during conflicts, which can cause displacement, injury, or loss of essential services like healthcare, food, and shelter. International laws aim to protect civilians from harm and ensure their rights are respected, even during war. Humanitarian efforts focus on providing aid and safeguarding civilians from the worst effects of conflict, recognizing their vulnerability and importance in maintaining societal stability.
