Geneva – The UN refugee agency says that the number of people forcibly displaced violence and persecution across the world has increased to more than 122 million, which is about two million since last year and almost doubling in the last decade.
The UNHCR head of Filippo Grandi pointed out some “rays of hope” in the last six months, including return home from nearly 2 million Syrians while their country tries to recover more than a decade of civil war.
The findings come on how the Refugee Agency has published its world trends on Thursday, which said the number of people who translated into abroad or displaced in their domestic war countries, violence and persecution from April from 120 million years earlier.
Among the team, the number of internally displaced people jumped by more than 9% to 73.5 million at the end of last year. The numbers represent cumulative figures from the years of conflict, violence and persecution, and some displaced people returned home last year even while others escaped.
The report comes at a time when humanitarian groups are faced with budget reductions from the United States and other traditional Western donors.
UNHCR said almost two-thirds of people who crossed national boundaries to escape in neighboring countries, suppressed a “wide perception in richer regions” that most people run away for measures like Europe or the United States.
The Agency said Sudan, who visited the civil war, became home to the largest crisis to encourage the world, and more than 14 million people displaced conflict – surpassed Syria, to 13.5 million. More than 10 million in Afghanistan are forcibly displaced, and about 8.8 million inside or from Ukraine, UNHCR said.
