Conflicts since start of US ‘war on terror’ have displaced 37m people – report
Study focuses on post-9/11 wars in which US initiated combat or took part in military operations
Conflicts with US military involvement have displaced at least 37 million people since the beginning of the “war on terror” nearly two decades ago, a report has estimated.
The invasion of Iraq and the decades of instability that have followed in the country have uprooted at least 9.2 million so far, the costliest of the eight US military operations that were included in the report by Brown University’s Costs of War Project.
