Abstract

Civil war is at the
forefront of non-human atrocities that have destroyed societies and individuals
in both physcially and spritually. Particularly in Syria, one of the parties
that have exposed the people to violence and massacre makes the issue of the
government of the country an even more graver and tragic. Assad Regime is used
for all types of heavy weapons as well as chemical attacks against civilians.
Organ losses, injuries and irreparable physical damage have begun to appear to
be almost normal in areas of war. In Yemen, starvation, thirst, absence of
medical supplies caused epidemics such as cholera.

warfare is critically questioned. The relationship between war and health is
tried to be put forward
