World Refugee Day 2020

• Every minute 20 people leave behind everything to excape war, terror or persecution.

• 100 million people at least were forced to flee their homes in the past decade, seeking refugee either in or outside heir countries. That’s more people fleeing than the entire population of Egypt, the world’s 14th most populous country.

• Forced displacement has almost doubled since 2010 (41 million then vs 79.5 million now).

• 80 per cent of the world’s displaced people are in countries or territories affected by acute food insecurity and malnutrition – many of them countries facing climate and other disaster risk.

• More than three-quarters of the world’s refugees (77 per cent) are caught up in situations of long-term displacement – for example the situation in Afghanistan, now in its fifth decade.

• More than eight of every 10 refugees (85 per cent) are in developing countries, generally a country neighbouring the one they fled.

• Five countries account for two-thirds of people displaced across borders: Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar
