Global displacement from war, crises doubles in a decade, says United Nations

The Hindu  

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the number of people fleeing war and persecution continued rising last year, with global displacement climbing to over 82 million — double the figure a decade ago, the UN said Friday. A fresh report from the UN refugee agency showed global displacement figures swelled by around three million in 2020 after an already record-breaking year in 2019, leaving a full one percent of humanity uprooted and displaced. ‘Epic failure’ “Today’s global displacement figures are an epic failure of humanity,” head of the Norwegian Refugee Council Jan Egeland said, pointing out that “far more people are on the move today than anytime during World War II.” “Yet despite the staggering statistics, world leaders have been inept to resolve the greatest emergency of our generation.” The UNHCR report highlighted that a full 42 % of the world’s displaced are girls and boys under the age of 18. Soaring internal displacement But while both refugee and asylum seeker numbers remained relatively flat from 2019, the number of people displaced within their own countries surged by more than two million to 48 million, the report said.
