Geneva: The United Nations has published a shocking report on Thursday. It says that at least 120 million people are leaving their homes around the world due to war, violence and persistent persecution. This situation is like a criminal indictment for the world community. Not only this, the number of these displaced people is constantly increasing, which is like a serious criminal indictment on the world community.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is giving this information. (The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) expressed outrage and said that the recent conflicts have broken all previous records. People have been forced to leave their homes in Gaza, Sudan and Myanmar.
This number is equivalent to the total population of Japan. This has also been stated in the statement of the organization.
Filippo Grandi, the head of the United Nations agency monitoring this, gave this information to reporters. The organization's report further states that last year the number of these displaced people reached 11.73 million. Which increased till April 2024. As a result, the total number of displaced people worldwide has exceeded 12 crores. Thus, the number of displaced people increased to 1 crore 10 lakhs in a year. For the last 12 years i.e. since 2012, new crises are constantly emerging and in 2024 it has increased 3 times. We have failed to overcome these crises. Even Filippo Grandi accepted this. He also said that this situation is not only embarrassing for the world society. It is like a criminal charge against the world society.
