Apart from the direct damage to that financial district in New York state, these attacks opened the door to the American war on terror, which was declared by George W. Bush, claiming from its initial spark until its end the lives of nearly 5 million people.

The shocking figure was outlined by an extensive study prepared by Brown University and published months before the anniversary of the famous attacks that served as the first spark for America’s invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq and other limited exercises in the countries of the Middle East since 2001, which changed the course of history in that region of the world.
According to the study, the human toll in America’s open wars after the events of September 11 in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere reached huge numbers, according to the study, by September 2021, an estimated 432,000 civilians in these countries had died as a result of violence.

People living in war zones have been killed in their homes, in markets and on roads by bombs, bullets, fire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), drones, at checkpoints, when military vehicles take them off the road, or when exposed to mines or cluster bombs, on U.S. strikes or armed violence by insurgents and terrorists.
Much more people have died in war zones as a result of destroyed infrastructure and poor health conditions caused by wars than as a result of direct violence.
Children under five are malnourished
To date, more than 7.6 million children under the age of five in post-11 September areas continue to suffer from acute malnutrition, and the number of deaths from malnutrition and damage to the health system and the environment is likely to be much higher than the number of deaths from the fighting.
