The number of internally displaced people worldwide reached a record 71.1 million last year as a result of conflict and climate change, according to figures released today. The Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC) said the figure represented a 20% increase from 2021, with an unprecedented number of people fleeing in search of safety and shelter. The IDMC said nearly three-quarters of the world's displaced people live in 10 countries, including Syria, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ukraine and Sudan, as a result of conflicts that required significant displacement in 2022. The war in Ukraine caused almost 17 million displacements last year, according to the IDMC. Figures show that 8.7 million people have been displaced by disasters such as floods in Pakistan. "Conflict and violence have caused 28.3 million internally displaced people worldwide, three times the annual average over the past decade," the report said. Most of the people displaced last year - 32.6 million - were caused by disasters including floods, droughts and landslides.\u00a0"Conflicts and disasters have combined in the past year to exacerbate people's pre-existing vulnerabilities and inequalities, triggering displacement on a scale we've never seen before," said Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, which founded the IDMC in 1998.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe war in Ukraine has also fueled a global food security crisis that has hit internally displaced people the hardest.
