A staggering total of 120 million people are living forcibly displaced by war, violence and persecution, the UN said Thursday, branding the ever-increasing number a “terrible indictment on the state of the world”.
Grandi told AFP he had been shocked at the high displacement figure when he took the job eight years ago. Grandi pointed to an increase in crises, and highlighted how climate change is impacting population movement and driving conflicts. “Unless there is a shift in international geopolitics, unfortunately, I actually see the figure continuing to go up,“ he said.
“Hundreds and hundreds every day are crossing from one devastated country to one of the poorest countries in the world,“ he told AFP.
