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.

- 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.

- Filippo Grandi emphasized the urgent need to restore peace and increase funding as displacement remains "untenably high" amid volatile international relations and shrinking aid.
