WORLD REFUGEE DAY brings attention to the millions of refugees around the world — most of which come from just three countries.
By the end of 2022, the world crossed a grim milestone — over 100 million forcibly displaced people.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over 60 million people are internally displaced (forced to flee their home but not cross international borders) and 29.4 million people are refugees.
Refugees are individuals who have been forced to flee their country because of persecution, war or violence — 52% of them come from just three countries: Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria.
