UNHCR's Global Trends Report Highlights Urgent Need for International Support

year. The agency's annual Global Trends Report, released on Wednesday, highlights the ongoing global refugee crisis and the urgent need for international support. The report also notes that over 85% of refugees are being hosted in developing countries, putting a strain on their already limited resources. The largest refugee populations are from Syria, Afghanistan, and South Sudan. Additionally, the number of internally displaced people has reached a record high of 41.3 million. The report also highlights the disproportionate impact of displacement on women and children, who make up the majority of refugees and internally displaced persons. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the situation, with lockdowns and travel restrictions making it difficult for displaced individuals to find safety and access essential services. The UNHCR is calling for increased support and solidarity from the international community to provide protection and assistance to those in need. The agency is also urging countries to address the root causes of displacement and work towards finding sustainable solutions. As the number of forcibly displaced people continues to rise, it is crucial for the global community to work together to provide support and find long-term solutions for those who have been forced to flee their homes. The UNHCR's Global Trends Report serves as a reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the need for urgent action to help those in need."
