IISS study finds there are 183 regional and local conflicts underway in 2023, the highest number in 30 years.
The intensity of conflict has risen year on year, with fatalities increasing by 14% and violent events by 28% in the latest survey.
The International Committee of the Red Cross catalogues 459 armed groups whose activities provoke humanitarian concerns, with 195 million people living under their full or partial control.
Ukraine remains, unsurprisingly, the most violent place on the planet, but Syria, Brazil, Myanmar, Mexico and Iraq are also riven.
The numbers of refugees displaced by war are stunning: more than six million in Syria, five million in Afghanistan, a million in Myanmar.
