The number of people displaced by war, violence and persecution has almost doubled in the past decade, the UN says. But funding for its refugee agency UNHCR remains at about the same level as in 2015.
The number of forcibly displaced people across the world stood at 122.1 million by the end of April 2025, according to a report by the UN's refugee agency, UNHCR.
The agency called the number "untenably high," particularly at a time when aid funding is being heavily reduced.
The figure represents an increase of 2.1 million over the same time last year.
