War hurts mentally too!

War has a catastrophic effect on the health and well being of nations. Studies have shown that conflict situations cause more mortality and disability than any major disease. War destroys communities and families and often disrupts the development of the social and economic fabric of nations. The effects of war include long-term physical and psychological harm to children and adults, as well as reduction in material and human capital.

As everybody knows Ukraine is famous among the students who want to go into medicine and make it as their profession at a cheaper rate than any other country . I still remember the kind of panic which was caused during war between Ukraine and Russia. Some of my friends were there during this time, and it was so sad to see their parents just praying everyday (only thing they can do) that their son/daughter just come back home safely. They did not sleep for days, weakening their immunity and eventually fell sick. Some students even got killed during this war. What was their mistake, they had no role to play?

War even causes a wide variety of psychological symptoms and syndromes in the populations involved or not involved. War benefits only few people but hurts more people in direct and indirect ways. The schools that got destroyed which are not going to work anymore, thus affecting the life of the students financially and educationally too.

With the help of the government they safely reached back to their parents. But it was because of War that caused all this disturbance in the first place.
