There's nothing you can do. If you have neither the wallet file nor the seed phrase, there is no way to recover the wallet.

It's always recommended to keep multiple copies of your seed phrase in different locations.
For more security, you can consider graving your seed phrase on a stainless steel plate instead of a writing it down on a paper.

I didn't even think about getting there. So if that happens then I'm not ready for all that. But it seems like we really have to be prepared for all the possibilities that could happen.
Because with war conflict, the worst things we never imagined could happen. Not only matters related to finances but also matters related to safety. And if we survive and we lose our wealth assets then it's not the end of the world for us. Because we can fight again from the start. But mentally, of course we definitely need to recover for some time.
And losing your wallet can even happen even if it's not because of war. For example, because of a house fire and so on. And when that happens, there's nothing we can do. unless we memorize our wallet seed phrase.

Situations like this and similar ones are the reason why it's not safe to backup our phrase and entire wallet access in just one place. Even the PC you back up alone is not that safe, even without it getting burned. There are cases where the PC can crash unexpectedly, and those funds will be stock in their forever if you don't discover a way of recovering them.
 
If you have a wallet that contains more, it's always advisable to share the wallet's access with a different location, even if it's on a different device that you know is secured. If one gets bad, you can also access the wallet through the other one, and you can also save your phrases on paper and move them to a secured location where no one can think of them and only you can have access to them. If not for hacking and all this security bridge kind of thing, moving some part of the phrase in an encrypted message through cloud storage could also be a good option.

It is advisable not to keep your seed phrase on computers because it can be hacked or accessed by criminals. The best option will be to write your seed phrase in indestructible stainless steel that is water, fire and rust proof and keep them in different locations.

During conflicts, the most important thing will be your life and that of your loved ones. If you are unhurt after a conflict, then you are lucky because many people lost their lives during these trying times. You are the one who worked hard to acquire these coins, you can still regain them since are alive and well. If you didn't keep your seed phrase in any other location apart from the ones that have been destroyed, you might not be able to recover your funds.

Do you think there's no any tool or media that can resist against fire? there's a steel plate.

As long as you're not live in Israel or Palestine and it's territories, why you need to care? what you need at that time is find your seed phrase and move to other country ASAP, if your government forbid it, you have no way except join a war and think how to survive, not protecting the wealth you have anymore.

Phrase is the only way to recover a wallet, losing Phrase means you have also lost all the assets stored in the wallet. When you live in a part of the country that is at war, you need to copy the phrase in many places. If necessary, you have to copy the phrase on metal and then store it in the ground.
Crypto players in these two countries will do everything they can to keep the phrase from disappearing. Anyone who has large amounts of assets in their wallet will try to maintain the security of the phrase by writing it in a place that is not flammable and is resistant to heat in high temperatures.

It's good that this topic has been brought up. We never know what could happen to us, and in the event of a war or other unforeseen circumstances in our country, if we keep our wallet phrase and password in the same location where we live, there's a real possibility of losing access to our cryptocurrency. That's why, even though we hope it never happens to us, it's important to prepare for such scenarios.

Putting this information online can be quite risky, so keeping it in writing is a safer option. In this case, make sure you have copies in different locations that are only accessible by you. I understand that this can be challenging, especially if you don't have multiple properties. In such cases, you might consider entrusting copies to family or friends who do not live in the same place you do. While there is some risk associated with this, you need to assess whether you can tolerate that risk because having backups in different locations is a best practice for safeguarding your cryptocurrency assets.

I cannot really imagine what I would do if I were there. Palestinian people suffering for decades and decades. Hamas (The freedom fighters of Palestine was tagged as a terrorist group by Western countries. Even Indians believe that Hamas is a terrorist group despite knowing the full background of how Hamas was built and why.

Back to the point, I know it's not safe, but I would create two email accounts set a 2FA on both of the accounts, and send an email to my other email writing the seed phrase. If I survive, my phone is likely to survive as well.

If you are in a precarious situation or in a location where there are frequent wars in the region then storing the initial phrase on the steel plate is widely recommended, but moreover you have to store in different locations you also have to know the situation of your region with its conflicts if you store only one place then nothing can be done it is destroyed all in this war attack.

I can't imagine being in the same location as Israel and Palestine which are full of conflicts, it is certainly worrying when storing something indoors because many buildings are destroyed there.

Choose steel plate it might be much safer.

Hamas just murdered over a thousand people so I'm not quite sure what you're trying to imply here.

Back to the point, I know it's not safe, but I would create two email accounts set a 2FA on both of the accounts, and send an email to my other email writing the seed phrase. If I survive, my phone is likely to survive as well.

If you write down your seed phrase and keep it with you (like in your pocket or something), then it will survive any airstrike, as long as you yourself can get away in one piece, of course.

I always tell people - email is not safe to store seed phrases! People have had their email messages snooped without even breaking inside, and others have lost money by trusting Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to keep their messages private!

I hadn't imagined that I would be in a war situation like that but it must be difficult for us to survive because everything has turned into a sea of fire.
The important thing is that you can store your seed phrase and everything related to your wallet in a safe place and you must have done it well.
You don't need to worry too much because if your country is still fine, that means you are also still fine so you need to keep your assets in a safe place.

That will be a consideration when we know our country is going to war, and as long as our country is fine, we can save the seed phrase anywhere as long as it is safe from other people and also from disasters that we cannot foresee.

And maybe the right choice would be to make several copies of the seed phrase to keep in various places other than your home and only you know about it, and engrave them on a steel plate that you can wear as a bracelet, necklace. Or anything you could wear or carry during a dire war situation.

[Solosanz]

The best is using a tool that resist against fire, corrosion, etc and hide it somewhere. If you live in a country that has a chance of conflict or natural disaster, it's better to carry it on your book or fly to other safe country.

I always tell people - email is not safe to store seed phrases! People have had their email messages snooped without even breaking inside, and others have lost money by trusting Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to keep their messages private!

People always have a mindset when there's nothing bad happen to them, it's safe. They don't care with other people are saying and will learn after they faced a problem in the future.

In case of a war your computer burns and your bitcoin phrase which is saved in this computer system is fully burned then recovery of your wallet is impossible and all the bitcoin in your wallet will be gone permanently. Bitcoin is a valuable asset and the phrase is for its security you can not unlock your wallet without the phrase. Do not save your phrase in a single place when you save it in one place the chance of losing the phrase and risk increases. You also cannot save it in your office or other places if the body meets your phrase it will also cause complications so I think the best thing is to write down your phrase on a steal plate and put It into a save if anything other than warlike fire or any else occur your phrase will be saved and if you lose your phrase luckily you gotta live then life will be very difficult for you and you have to do all the work again which will take more time.

Nice idea. Backup phrases with brain memory are very effective, but I doubt this is done by people with memory problems.

To access a crypto wallet all we need is a key phrase. If we lose the phrase we will not be able to access it. Therefore, backup other than on the computer is important, maybe we can make a copy of the phrase with several alternatives. Natural disasters, war are unexpected factors, to anticipate these undesirable things alternatives such as writing phrases on iron plates, printing 12 phrases on paper or something similar are very necessary, of course we have to consider this option which is resistant to water and fire.
OP, I'm sorry for what you're experiencing, to help your problem now is your memory, because a BTC wallet without 12 Phrases is impossible to be access.

Of course, you have drawn attention to a very important issue, because when there is war, often everything is destroyed. We often write down our passwords and seed phrases in a diary or somewhere secret, but in the destruction that follows the war, all this can be lost. A password can be memorized, but a 12-word or 24-word seed phrase is extremely difficult to remember.

We have never thought that if such a situation arises, how we will get our coins back. After war again we cannot get our phrase safe. so there is no sustainable solution in sight. I don't think we will be able to get our coins back after the destruction of the war. It may be that if we feel that a war is about to break out in our country, we can secure our set-freezes with a close relative or friend whom we can trust, if he resides in another country, but there will be danger in this too.

I don't think that it's going for me or almost any person here to advice you about what to do next after surviving the war, so I will try my best to relate something and I think the closest would be a fire engulfing a house but that's still a different story. If I recall correctly, war torn country survivors are going to be refugees in other countries that's giving asylums, your best bet in that scenario is you become a refugee in a country that's not racist and against immigrants and if you can, establish a business (higher chance of business boom if it's food related given that new culture means curiosity for the locals who've never tried the new culture's cuisine), I mean that's what a lot of immigrants have opted to do when they went to other countries right? If you have the passphrase saved somewhere online, you can probably get it back.

On reading this at first, I wanted to disregard it until I understood that there is a great sense in the post. What OP said is something that might likely happen. I haven't experienced any war since I was born but I think war doesn't just happen. There are some signs and build ups to war before the real war starts. When the signs were coming, maybe as Homas were sending missiles, I would simply grab my seed phrase or important my wallet on my mobile device. Either or both of the two methods will enable me escape with the seed phrase before the war intensifies.

Steel made seed phrase is an option. But I'm thinking about a situation that a whole high elevated building is brought down and after the war you go back to excavate the collapsed structure in search of a seed phrase
