Explore the pressing issue of the forcibly displaced people globally as UN reports record numbers. Understand the causes and impac...
A staggering total of 120 million people are living forcibly displaced by war, violence and persecution, the UN said Thursday, branding the ever-increasing number a"terrible indictment on the state of the world".
Grandi told AFP he had been shocked at the high displacement figure when he took the job eight years ago. In particular, Grandi noted"the way conflicts are conducted ... in complete disregard" of international law, and"often with the specific purpose of terrorising people".Grandi acknowledged there currently seemed to be little hope of bucking the trend.
The number of refugees and others in need of international protection meanwhile climbed to 43.4 million, it said."The vast majority of refugees are hosted in countries neighbouring their own, with 75 percent residing in low- and middle-income countries that together produce less than 20 percent of the world's income," it said.
And in the Gaza Strip, the UN estimates 1.7 million people -- 75 percent of the population -- have been displaced by the war sparked eight months ago by Hamas's October 7 attack inside Israel.
