There are more displaced people in the world today than at any other time in history. By May 2023, a record 110 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced. Last year, 19.1 million people fled their homes due to conflict, climate shocks and hunger, the largest single-year increase on record. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has caused the largest forced movement of people since World War II – a conflict that prompted the ratification of the UN Refugee Convention 70 years ago. Record droughts in the Horn of Africa, renewed war in Sudan and the increasing severity and frequency of natural disasters have only added to the growing list of causes for the ever-increasing onslaught.
