Overview

  • The global number of internally displaced persons reached 83.4 million at the end of 2024, marking a record high according to the latest IDMC and NRC report.
  • Conflict-driven displacement accounts for nearly 90% of the total, with Sudan leading at 11.6 million displaced, the highest ever recorded in a single country.
  • The Gaza Strip saw almost its entire population displaced by the end of 2024, further worsened by renewed Israeli bombardments in March 2025.
  • Natural disasters, intensified by climate change, displaced nearly 10 million people in 2024, with the U.S. experiencing 11 million disaster-related displacements, nearly a quarter of the global total.
  • Humanitarian organizations warn that U.S. funding freezes and global budget cuts are leaving millions of displaced individuals without critical aid and resources.
