World Refugee Day

The increasing number of displaced people is an increasing problem worldwide. A UNHCR report released today reveals deep imbalance in international support for the world's forcibly displaced, with a full 4/5 of the world's refugees being hosted by developing countries - and at a time of rising anti-refugee sentiment in many industrialised ones.

According to UNHCR, there are approximately 43 million people displaced worldwide today. That is an unfathomable figure. And behind this figure are 43 million personal stories, 43 million people that do not have a secure place to call home.
