1. Central African Republic: Resurgence of the conflict. In 2006, its civil population was a violence victim again. During these months, confrontations have taken place between government troops and rebel groups. Civilians, suspects of supporting one or another, have stuck between both fires. Around 100'000 civilians have been forced to leave their homes. Several children, under 5 years old, have become ill of malaria, worms and hard respiratory infections.
2. Chechnya: Physic and psychologic scars. The consequences of a conflict that lasts over 12 years so far, are still present. Big amount of Chechens that were displaced during the most hard phases of the crisis have already returned. However, the majority still lacks of a house where to live and has to do it on temporary shelters. Violence, kidnappings and abuses are still on the way. In the rural zones, the health infrastructure is almost nonexistent.
3. Sri Lanka: Civilians catched between fires. The combats between government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have intensified since summer, causing displacements of dozens of thousands of people. Other are still imprisoned and cannot flee.
4. Democratic Republic of Congo: Violence and permanent deficiencies. Privation and violence situation suffered by millons of Congoleses are still happening unnoticed for the rest of the planet. Eastern Congo is a scenario of fights between several armed groups, included government forces, that uses force against civil populace, which is put under a brutal condition of life.
5. Somalia: War and natural catastrophes. Even though its current situation have temporarily attraced media attention, the terrible conditions of live of the Somali populance are still relegated in the forgetfulness.

The violence and insecurity is a daily breakfast in its capital city, Port-au-Prince, where confrontations between armed groups, the Haitian police and the UN Stabilization Mission on Haiti. Since december 2004, more than 3'000 people have been registered as bullet injured, with more than a thousand women and children.
8. India: 25 years of conflict. Confrontations between maoist insurgents, government forces and antimaoist military services have caused the displacement of 50'000 civilans in several areas of the country. The population still lives on a fear and violence environment, with few or non access to sanitary attention.
9. Tuberculosis: Obsolete and insufficient treatments. Against of what it's thought in the West, tuberculosis is not an "old time bad". Each year, it causes death to two million people, around nine million people get the disease and appear new multiresistants types.
