Conflict over resources profoundly impacts vulnerable populations, particularly refugees. In cities marked by stark contrasts, plush office blocks and expensive hotels coexist alongside impoverished communities living in refugee camps. This disparity highlights global complicity, as countries supply arms and fuel resource wars that exacerbate suffering. The plight of women and children in these camps reflects the urgent need for solidarity and a reevaluation of the consequences of global mineral consumption, revealing an undercurrent of exploitation tied to the thirst for resources.
