Global Forced Displacement Hits Record 120 Million

UNHCR reports unprecedented rise driven by conflicts, climate crises, and human rights violations

The number of forcibly displaced people worldwide has surged to 120 million as of May 2024.
Conflicts in Sudan, Gaza, Syria, Myanmar, and other regions are major contributors to the crisis.
Internally displaced persons make up the largest group, with 68.3 million affected by war alone.
Low-income countries host 75% of the world's refugees, straining their already limited resources.
UNHCR calls for international solidarity and sustainable solutions to address the growing displacement.
