REMEMBER, THERE ARE NOT JUST 🇵🇸 CHILDREN!
Regional wars and political conflicts exacerbated the injury burden in the Middle Eastern Region, where millions of people are wounded by explosions while others displaced internally or forced to resettle as refugees in neighboring countries or elsewhere.
EMR countries with low SDI sustain a high toll of child injury related deaths and DALYs rates exacerbated by ongoing regional war and conflicts including Syria [183.6 (UI 181.8–185.6)], Iraq [(80.12 UI 77.1–83.6)] and Yemen [(77.4 (UI 69.9–88.4)).
Contrary to global patterns, EMR countries with high SDIs suffer from excessively high rates of DALYs despite being at peace, mainly because of transport related injuries including United Arab Emirates [1169.2 (UI 918.3– 1441.3)] and Oman [1341.2 (1096.8–1550.2)].
According to the World health organization (WHO), the EMR encompasses 22 countries including Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. EMR countries sustain high rates of mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) particularly dues to injuries caused by road traffic crashes and violence
