32 May, Kathmandu. The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has said that the number of refugees forced to be displaced will increase to 120 million in 2024. According to UNHCR, the number of people displaced due to war and violence has increased historically.
In a new report published by UNHCR on Thursday, there is a blueprint of refugees around the world. It is mentioned that the number of displaced people has been continuously increasing for 12 years.
The report also mentions that the war between opposing military forces in Sudan is one of the reasons for the increase in the number of forcibly displaced people, where more than 10 million people have been displaced by the end of 2023.
Similarly, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, millions of people have been displaced within the country’s borders. The situation is similar in Myanmar, where the conflict between the army and separatist groups continues.
According to the report, about 1.7 million people have been displaced from Gaza due to the war between Israel and Palestine.
The worst situation is in Syria. 1 crore 33 lakh people have been displaced within the borders of the country.
According to the report of the UN agency, the number of people moving from one place to another within the borders of their own country to save their lives due to violent activities has also increased by 50 percent in five years. According to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, this number has increased to 683 million.
Filippo Grandi, the High Commissioner of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), said that behind these surprising figures and the growing number of displaced people, there are countless examples of human rights violations. He has called upon the international community to understand their pain and take immediate action so that the displacement can be stopped.
In another UN report in 2023, children have to endure unimaginable violence due to fighting and war. In the year 2023, compared to the year 2022, the incidence of child violence has increased by 21 percent. In 2023, 5 thousand 301 children died due to violence and war.
