According to the joint report of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), 71.1 million people were recorded as internal displaced, in 2022, constraints to exile in their own country.
The report explains this movement by massive exdes after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia but also catastrophic floods in Pakistan.
Internal trips reach “a scale never seen before”, underline the two organizations.
For the chief of the Norwegian Refugee Council, Jan Egeland, “conflicts and disasters combined last year to worsen vulnerabilities and pre-existing inequalities, causing travel on a scale ever seen,” he said.
The new internal trips due to conflicts climbed last year to 28.3 million, almost double compared to the previous year and three times more than the annual average of the last decade.
In Ukraine, following the Russian invasion of February 24, 2022, more than eleven million people fled their house while remaining in the country.
Jan Egeland also denounced the global food crisis, still made more acute by this war which has “undermined years of progress”.
Sub -Saharan Africa has recorded around 16.5 million internal trips, more than half of which due to conflicts.
Around the world, ten countries concentrate almost three -quarters of the displaced internal. It is, in decreasing order of the number of internal displaced people, Syria, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ukraine, Colombia, Ethiopia, Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia and Sudan.
