Cost of global conflicts: How wars impact the lives of civilians and the world around us

Whether we talk about the deepening refugee crisis or the rise in global prices of oil and fuel, the current battles in the Middle East and other parts of the world show that conflicts do not stay within borders and their consequences are felt all around the globe. Wars affect civilians, the economy, the environment, and health systems.

Caritas Czech Republic's worldwide achievements in 2025

The year 2025 brought both good and bad news. While a ceasefire was successfully agreed upon in Gaza in October, the humanitarian situation on site remains critical. People lack drinking water, food, medicine, electricity, and safe shelter. In Ukraine and Syria, people are also grappling with the consequences of long-term conflict. Caritas Czech Republic is working to improve their living conditions. For example, we are providing psychosocial care in Gaza, supporting the development of medical facilities in Ukraine, and restoring access to drinking water in Syria. We are also securing local water sources in Ethiopia, where we are simultaneously focusing on modernising agriculture, thereby enabling local farmers to better manage the impacts of climate change. However, this represents only the tip of the iceberg of our activities around the world. Let us, therefore, recall the greatest successes of Caritas Czech Republic’s work over the past year.

Progress made by Caritas Czech Republic in home care services in Moldova, completion of a social project

Over the past three years, we have focused our efforts on strengthening home care services in the Republic of Moldova, with the main goal of improving the quality of life of older people and individuals in vulnerable situations. Home care is not only about practical assistance, but also about emotional support, dignity, safety, and a sense of belonging to the community. To support people who live alone and face various needs and health conditions in developing their abilities and improving their quality of life, Caritas Czech Republic, together with AO Homecare, developed occupational therapy services within five medico-social centres across Moldova.
