One in 70 people worldwide is forcibly displaced: UNHCR

At least 117.8 million people worldwide remain forcibly displaced, with a decline in forced displacement for the first time in 10 years due to large-scale returns of refugees and internally displaced people. This progress is overshadowed by Lebanon's growing displacement crisis and the ongoing conflict-driven displacement in several countries. The majority of refugees are internally displaced within their own countries due to conflict or other crises, while others are under the UNHCR mandate or seeking asylum in another country.
