The Las-Anod conflict disrupted the economic fabric, social services, and livelihoods of the communities of the Sool and Ayn regions. The fighting claimed the lives of innocent civilians and destroyed or damaged public infrastructure and buildings used for residences and business centers. Trade and other economic activities were halted due to the lockdown of open access to the local markets.
The Las-Anod conflict forced 330,000 individuals, causing an acute shortage of safe drinking water, food, shelter, and the basic necessities of life.
In April 2023, PDRC conducted an independent assessment of the social, humanitarian, and economic impact of the war from a humanitarian perspective and proposed an emergency intervention to assist the victims of the conflict.
