The UN’s agency for refugees, UNHCR, has released a reportthat shows almost 120 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced by the end of 2023, the twelfth year in a row that the figure has risen.
Many millions of others though have been forced to abandon their homes and seek shelter elsewhere inside Sudan, labeled as Internally Displaced People, or IDPs.
UNHCR was established following the Second World War to help with the rehousing of the many millions of people who had been made homeless during that years-long conflict, and it now operates across dozens of countries worldwide.
Over the course of 2023, the total number of people who found themselves forcibly displaced from their home for any one of several reasons - persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or public disturbances - increased by 8.8 million.
And Clements says data shows that over that same period of time, 7.7 million people were forced to flee their homes due to climate disasters that are increasingly linked to conflict.
The agency drew on its own operational data, as well as numbers provided by governments and not-for-profit organizations, to inform this week’s report that is designed to examine global trends in forced displacement.
