UN report states over 110 million people have been forcefully displaced globally due to war, violence, and human rights abuses. Charitable response plans remain underfunded.

Globally, there is a total of 62.5 million internally displaced individuals, 35.3 million evacuees, 5.4 million asylum seekers, and 5.2 million others who are in need of international protection.Of those in need of international protection, approximately 52% of refugees and other people came from just three countries: Syria , Ukraine , and Afghanistan .
But long-drawn-out conflicts and calamities in Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Venezuela, and elsewhere also continue to force people out of their homes. More and more people have also been pushed to flee from their home countries because of climate-fueled natural catastrophes, says UNHCR spokesperson Kathryn Mahoney.While the world’s agencies are all putting out a response to the different crisis situations, a truly effective response will only work if the international community centers on addressing the root causes of dislocation and producing a more egalitarian structure that values “asylum for all.
