More than 108 million people are now displaced worldwide. Between 2023-2024 a total increase

of 6.2 million people displaced is expected. This does not include the 3.5 million people that have

been displaced in Sudan since April.

Beyond Sudan, massive displacement has already been witnessed in DR Congo, Somalia, Myanmar and Burkina Faso.

 

The data in the updated forecasts underscores that displacement is a multifaceted,

global phenomenon, with fifteen countries on four different continents experiencing an increase of

more than 100,000 displaced. The data also underscores that hosting countries for the displaced will primarily be

fragile, low-income countries with poor humanitarian access that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and

more at risk of climate and hazard induced disasters.
