Most people fleeing conflict + persecution remain near their country of origin in the hope that one day they can return. In 2022, 95 per cent of refugees + people in refugee-like situations in Asia + Pacific were residing in neighboring countries. This is where they found asylum https://t.co/JWelClWV8B
