“We have never recorded so many people forced away from their homes & communities. It is a damning verdict on the failures of conflict prevention & peacemaking.” -@NRC_Egeland 2/3 of the newly displaced were in #Sudan #Palestine #DRCongo Sub-Saharan Africa hosted ~1/2 of all IDPs

The number of people displaced "internally" (within their own countries) has risen every year for the past 7 years, and by almost 50% in the past 5 years. Of 75.9 million #IDPs at the end of 2023, almost 90% — 68.3 million — fled due to conflict and 7.7 million due to disasters.

🚨OUT NOW: 2024 Global Report on Internal Displacement 75.9 million people, more than ever before, are living in #internaldisplacement. A rise in conflict, including in #Sudan and #Gaza, led to historic displacement. Learn more in #GRID2024👇 bit.ly/3QIX4rJ
