UN Refugee Agency Says More than 122 Million People Forcibly Displaced Worldwide

  • UNHCR reported that by the end of April 2025, 122.1 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide, slightly down from a record high at year-end 2024.
  • This displacement surge resulted from ongoing conflicts in Sudan, Myanmar, and Ukraine, combined with a failure to achieve lasting peace and reduced humanitarian funding.
  • In 2024, 9.8 million displaced persons returned home, including 1.6 million refugees—the largest return in over two decades—and 8.2 million internally displaced people.
  • Nearly two million Syrians have returned home after years of turmoil, with over 500,000 crossing back since Bashar al-Assad's fall in December 2024, and 1.2 million IDPs returned since late 2024.
  • Filippo Grandi emphasized the urgent need to restore peace and increase funding as displacement remains "untenably high" amid volatile international relations and shrinking aid.
