The latest report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reveals that 123.2 million people globally are forcibly displaced, representing a 6% increase from the previous year. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) make up the majority at 73.5 million, highlighting the urgent need for peace and solutions for affected individuals. Although the total number increased, early 2025 estimates showed a slight decrease in forced displacement. The report underscores ongoing global conflicts, with Gaza's situation being particularly dire, as 90% of its population is displaced due to violence.
We are living in a time of intense volatility in international relations, with modern warfare creating a fragile, harrowing landscape marked by acute human suffering.
Internally displaced people (IDPs) account for 60 percent of the majority of those who have been forced to flee globally.
The number of displaced people has increased by seven million people, or 6 percent, compared with the end of 2023.
The UNHCR estimated that forced displacement fell in the first four months of this year, to 122.1 million by the end of April 2025.
