The impact of the civil war on the civilian population in Syria: A review of the primary and secondary effects

Although the civil war in Syria is no longer the primary focus of the global political and media landscape, the population in Syria will feel the consequences of flagrant
violations of human rights and international humanitarian law for a long time. The conflict, which began in 2011, is still ongoing, albeit at reduced intensity, while economic and social conditions in Syria continue to deteriorate. The negative consequences resulting from the war are complex and diverse, with immediate as well as long-term effects, including physical, psychological, economic, and social aspects.
The focus of this paper is the treatment and consequences of civil war on the civilian population in Syria, viewed through the prism of specific impacts, including primary and
secondary effects. The aim is to delve deeper than the obvious consequences, which are not only reflected in the loss of human lives, but also in the long-term effects on key social sectors where the impact of war is most strongly felt.
