Death of children in war
Among other war casualties, children take a more significant percentage due to their vulnerability to chemical components and gases emitted during the ravaging war periods.
Additionally, just like other victims, children are physically injured from the bombings, hellfire missiles, among other war methods. This is evident in China and Japan as the effects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still fresh in mind as, up to now, children’s health is even compromised due to the impact of the gases emitted in the air. Another typical instance elaborated by Taliban bandits who take pleasure in ending citizen’s and children’s life. Innocents get caught in the crossfire and usually get maimed, wounded, or even succumb to death.
Death of helpless citizens is a common occurrence in 2008, where more than 46 citizens lost their lives in a controversial war between the U.S. and Afghanistan. Massive loss of life was witnessed were kids, elderly, and the youth were affected. An elder Hajj Khan narrates how he held grandson’s in an organized procession only to see people screaming, and all sudden lifeless bodies were spotted over the place.
Collateral Damage
Efficient health care service delivery faces a lot of challenges, especially in war-ravaged places. Rampant war makes medical services inaccessible and inefficient, more so in underdeveloped and war-oriented countries. Even more poverty ravaged countries becomes vulnerable to conflicts due to increased rates of social crime that may cause civil wars,
a case of Reto stocker who provided evidence of the death of kids who were taken to hospitals for treatment but could not access health care as they were kept waiting on roadblocks.
It is also important to mention that constant war disrupted people’s normal lifestyle in the action raged areas, besides the unborn get immensely affected, and cases of defects are registered at birth. This was witnessed in Iraq, where kids were born with one limb with distortion on the facials and heart-related complications. To be specific, the baby Fatima video that went viral on social media showcased war’s effects. She left the world guessing in shock as she had two heads covered in huge and massive hair.
The weapons used during the war have great health effects in having a generally healthy lifestyle. Substances as uranium cause disabilities, be it mental or physical; hence it is advisable to keep away from the weapons. Due to the renowned effects of uranium, in 2004, Uranium was restricted and prohibited in Fallujah to avoid the adverse effects and implications associated with chemical components. Also, war increases abortion rates, affects a negatively unborn child, and may lead to an unhealthy lifestyle.
In the war zones, water and air get contaminated as a weapon of finishing enemies if they get tempted to drink; it is a key technology as it starves the enemies. Still another: industrial chemicals are stored and dumped into water bodies to hinder enemies from consuming the water. The Meehan claims are justified as the effects of war are clearly illustrated in America vs. Afghanistan’s case study, where 47 people lost their lives in the controversial battle.
Meehan is very logical and reasonable in her claim as she provides on the undaunted claims it is evident that the continued war on Libya and road bombs in Afghanistan led to the loss of innocent lives.
Like Meehan supports, war should be avoided at all costs to realize better health and improved lifestyle. She is open-minded and argues her cases openly without discrimination; she points out U.S. behavior when they attacked Afganistan and pretended to be a mistaken attack. Her arguments are vital as they help unearthed the dirty incidence that is never discussed in public.
In conclusion, it is essential to put more and continuous effort into ensuring that war cases are reduced. Better management and governance tools are deduced to increase the environment’s efficiency and effectiveness.
