Terrorism is a global issue that threatens the safety, security, and well-being of individuals and societies all over the world.
What effects does terrorism have on people as well as the nation?
Terrorism has significant impacts on both individuals and countries. It can cause emotional turmoil, fear, and the loss of loved ones, which may lead to mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
