The latest annual assessment from the United Nations high commissioner for refugees (UNHCR) said a sharp rise in the number of people forcibly displaced during 2023 had brought the total to a record high of more than 117 million. Conflicts were largely to blame with many, such as those in Ukraine and Sudan, showing little sign of ending.<\/p>\n<p>Widespread violence meant that the 8.8 million people forcibly displaced in 2023 \u2013 nearly the same as the UK capital\u2019s population \u2013 eclipsed the previous record, set the year before, after a series of year-on-year increases over the past 12 years. In total, 1.5% of the world\u2019s population is now forcibly displaced \u2013 nearly double the proportion of a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>The UNHCR \u2013 which said its figures included refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people and others in need of international protection \u2013 warned that the total had continued to increase in the first four months of this year and was already likely to have exceeded 120 million, more than twice the population of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Syrian children pose for a photo on a narrow street in the Shatila Palestinian refugee camp on the southern outskirts of Beirut<br \/>\n\u2018If they see a Syrian, they beat them up\u2019: the refugees living in fear in Lebanon Filippo Grandi, the UN high commissioner for refugees, said: \u201cBehind these stark and rising numbers lie countless human tragedies. That suffering must galvanise the international community to act urgently to tackle the root causes of forced displacement.\u201d The UN agency said a fifth of those forcibly displaced were now in the poorest countries in the world, such as Chad and Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>However, the world\u2019s largest recipient of new asylum applications, at 1.2 million, was the US. Next, with 329,000 applications, was Germany, where migration has become a dominant topic of political debate and is credited with helping the far right perform strongly in the recent European elections. The UNHCR also found that a disproportionate number of children were affected, with minors making up 40% of all forcibly displaced people, despite accounting for just 30% of the world\u2019s population.<\/p>\n<p>During the year, the global refugee population increased by 7% to reach 43.4 million, driven by conflict in Gaza, with 6 million Palestinian refugees among the total, and in Sudan, where 10.8 million people were forcibly displaced at the end of last year, a number growing by thousands each day.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/article\/2024\/jun\/13\/conflicts-record-forcibly-displaced-people-refugees-unhcr\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/conflicts-drive-number-of-forcibly-displaced-people-to-record-high\/\">Conflicts drive number of forcibly displaced people to record high<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4295,14909,8932,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-conflict","tag-displaced-people","tag-record-high","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131463\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
