A new report by the Peace Research Institute Oslo (Prio) has revealed that the number of civil conflicts and battles worldwide has reached its highest level in three decades. The report, which cites the civil war in Ethiopia's Tigray region, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Israeli bombing of Gaza, shows that the overall number of conflict-related deaths, including civilians, has risen to the highest level in 30 years since 2021. The increase in battlefield deaths is attributed to the civil war in Ethiopia's Tigray region, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Israeli bombing of Gaza.

Despite a fall in conflict fatalities last year, there were still 122,000 conflict-related deaths in 2023, with over 71,000 people killed in Ukraine and an estimated 23,000 killed in Gaza in less than three months at the end of 2023. The scale of global conflict has also substantially increased, with 59 different conflict zones recorded in 34 countries as several states deal with multiple conflicts simultaneously.

Siri Aas Rustad, author of the report and research professor at Prio, said that violence in the world is at an all-time high, and the conflict landscape has become increasingly complex due to more conflict actors operating within the same country. This makes it increasingly difficult for actors like aid groups and civil society organizations to manage the conflict landscape and improve the lives of ordinary people. Africa remains the region with the highest number of state-based conflicts, with 28 separate conflict zones.
