According to the UN Refugee Agency, in 2024 the number of displaced people worldwide is five million more than in the previous year.

Transmits to UNN with reference to UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe.

The UN Refugee Agency has more than 122 million refugees worldwide. The reasons for the displacement are violence, conflict and the effects of climate change, explained the German partner organization of the UN Refugee Agency. It is emphasized that the current figures are five million higher than the corresponding data recorded last year.

The numbers are shocking, but behind every figure is a person with hope for safety and a future. Our common task is to offer these people protection and prospects

- said Peter Ruhenstroth-Bauer, Director of the UN Refugee Agency in Germany.

It is noted that Syria remains “the world's largest displacement crisis” as 13.8 million people are displaced within and outside the country. The majority of Syrian refugees live in the neighboring countries of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, while others have taken refuge in Europe and beyond.
