Twenty most violent countries in the world: Photos

[thesolar65]

Israel and Hamas have been exchanging rocket fire and armed conflict for over 20 days now. The casualty rate has crossed 1,000 and despite repeated and strenuous calls for a humanitarian ceasefire by the global community and the United Nations, the two sides continue fighting. Against the backdrop of what is already one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent years (certainly 2014), we bring you a selection of some of the most violent countries in the world. And we begin by bringing you some images of the ongoing Gaza conflict. - Twenty most violent countries in the world: Photos

Wola .. western journalism... Put what they want other to see and form opinion. When I see Syria ahead of Iraq, Afghanistan ahead of Iraq, no mention of Ukraine, North Korea at no 10.. I need sack full of salt to take this report at its face value.

Is Access to weapon in India 4/5? From where did they get this statistics?

Unlucky me. I have never seen or even heard that any of my friends or neighbor owns a firearm.

 

[IndoUS]

Access to weapon 4/5 for India, are they counting knives in there or something because you rarely see weapon owners in India.

Why would Ukraine be there alongside Syria/Afghanistan, the whole Ukraine war has claimed less lives than 4-6 months of murder in Russia.
