UN Official Warns World is Experiencing Most Violent Phase Since WWII Amid Escalating Conflicts

Kathmandu. A senior United Nations official has stated that the world is currently passing through its most violent phase since the Second World War. The conflict, particularly escalating in the Middle East, is severely impacting the lives of ordinary civilians, and its effects are spreading globally.

According to Jorge Moreira da Silva, Executive Director of the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS), large numbers of people are being forced to leave their homes due to violence and instability, and this number is increasing every hour.

He noted that the Middle East conflict is crossing borders and even affecting the global economy. A sharp rise in the prices of oil, fuel, and gas has been observed globally as a result.

Developing countries, especially in Asia and Africa, are projected to be the most affected. A warning has been issued that the problem of hunger worldwide will become more severe this year, potentially increasing the number of affected people by tens of millions.

The United Nations has urged all parties to implement the Security Council's decisions and to end the conflict through diplomatic and peaceful means.

The office provides project management, procurement, and infrastructure development services in more than 100 countries worldwide.
