In this episode, we delve into nine challenges that emerge during wartime and their profound impact on the health of innocent civilians. These challenges range from issues like the scarcity of clean water and food to the spread of diseases and the breakdown of healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, Jessica provides a quick update on her graduate school capstone project, focusing on the health of survivors from the 9/11 World Trade Centers terrorist attack.
