"As we entered 2021, there were 82.4 million people around the world displaced
by conflict or persecution.
Thirty million of those are refugees, the rest are displaced within their own
country (48 million) or asylum-seekers (4.1 million), according to UNHCR’s
latest report. Nearly half of these forcibly displaced people are children.
55 percent of refugees come from three countries: Syria, Palestine and
Venezuela.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, “everything else has stopped, including the
economies, but wars and conflict and violence and discrimination and
persecution, all the factors that pushed these people to flee, have continued,”
UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi said."
