Global Trends in Forced Displacement
UNHCR’s latest Global Trends report shows that 79.5 million people were forcibly displaced at the end of 2019. That's fully 1 per cent of humanity, or 1 in every 97 people on earth.
Some 11 million people were newly displaced in the course of last year – fleeing wars, violence or persecution. Overwhelmingly it is low- and middle-income countries that are most affected.
