UN official: The world is currently in "the most violent period since World War II"

Joao Moreira da Silva, Director of the United Nations Department of Project Affairs, stated on the 23rd that the situation in the Middle East continues to escalate, causing destructive impacts on civilians and livelihoods, and creating global chain reactions. He said that the world is currently in the "most violent period since World War II." In a statement issued by the United Nations Department of Project Affairs, da Silva said that the war has been going on for nearly a month, and its destructive impact has crossed the borders of conflict-affected countries, leading to a sharp rise in prices of oil, fuel, and natural gas, impacting the world economy. He said, "Our world is in the most violent period since World War II," with the number of displaced and forced to flee their homes increasing every hour. He called on all parties to implement all resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and to end this chaos and the suffering of the people through diplomatic and peaceful means.
