Global terrorism index 2023

Preview of GTI-2023-web.pdf

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This is the tenth edition of the Global Terrorism Index (GTI). This report provides a comprehensive summary of the key global trends and patterns in terrorism over the last decade. The calculation of the GTI score considers not only deaths but also incidents, hostages and injuries from terrorism, weighted over a five-year period

The GTI report is produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) using data from TerrorismTracker and other sources. TerrorismTracker provides event records on terrorist attacks since 1 January 2007. The dataset contains almost 66,000 terrorist incidents for the period 2007 to 2022.

In 2022, deaths from terrorism fell by nine per cent to 6,701 deaths and is now 38 per cent lower than at its peak in 2015. The fall in deaths was mirrored by a reduction in the number of incidents, with attacks declining by almost 28 per cent from 5,463 in 2021 to 3,955 in 2022. However, if Afghanistan was removed from the index, terrorism deaths would have increased by four per cent.

War in Ukraine: BBC crew take cover

BBC News team under fire

A BBC team has come under fire in Ukraine while following a group of local aid workers.

The volunteers deliver food to villages in southern Ukraine and have continued to work well within artillery range of Russian troops. One was filming an aid drop in Mylove in the Kherson region when two missiles from the direction of the Russian front line exploded nearby.

As reporter Viktoria Zhuhan, producer Claire Press and cameraman Kevin McGregor witnessed last month, the work frequently comes close to costing them their lives.
