Describes the causes and effects of wars throughout the world, how relief agencies help, and what can be done to predict and prevent future wars. Although disasters-both natural and man-made-are frequently in the news, it is sometimes difficult to understand how people and communities manage when disaster strikes. How do food and medical supplies get through when roads and railways are destroyed by earthquakes or floods? Where can people find shelter when their homes are devastated by storms or war? How can communities survive when food crops continually fail? Using vivid first-hand accounts and informative photographs, War explains how conflicts can begin and shows the reader what happens to the lives of ordinary people when they are caught in the middle of a devastating war. It also explains how governments, aid agencies, and individuals from around the world can provide help in this time of need.
