Pakistan among countries with highest exposure to conflict: report

Pakistan is among the countries with the highest exposure to conflict and is also among the 15 countries with the highest disaster risk, according to the World Risk Index 2024 report published on Monday.

Pakistan, which was pushed out of the top 10 by Russia last year, has now replaced China, while Mexico and Colombia have swapped ranks. The composition of the 10 countries with the highest vulnerability scores is similar, with Afghanistan returning this year to a group that consisted exclusively of African countries last year.

The ranking of conflict exposure countries is: Colombia, Brazil, Pakistan, Mexico, Myanmar, Nigeria, Lebanon, Iraq, Sudan and Israel at the top.
