"The number of people globally displaced by conflict every single day has nearly quadrupled in that time – from almost 11,000 in 2010 to 42,500 last year." - UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres
The global refugee crisis is so great that the UN refugee agency and other agencies are struggling to respond to and meet all the humanitarian needs they face.
There were now more than 60 million refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced persons in the world.
Fifteen new conflicts have broken out or flared up again in the last five years without any of the old ones getting resolved.
