Russia’s war in Ukraine, refugees fleeing Afghanistan and the fighting in Sudan push the total number of displaced people globally to 110 million, according to UNHCR
The eruption of the conflict in Sudan has triggered further displacement, pushing the global total to an estimated 110 million. /
At the end of last year, 108.4 million people were displaced, UNHCR said in its flagship annual report, Global Trends in Forced Displacement. "We have 110 million people that have fled because of conflict, persecution, discrimination and violence, often mixed with other motives -- in particular the impact of climate change," UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi told a press conference in Geneva.Of the 2022 global total, 35.3 million were refugees who fled abroad, with 62.5 million being internally displaced.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees noted that around 76 percent of refugees fled to low- and middle-income countries, while 70 percent stayed in neighbouring countries. Grandi pleaded for urgent global action to alleviate the causes and impact of displacement, saying UNHCR was"not in a good financial situation this year".
