As of the end of 2023, a record number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) has been reported, with over 75.9 million individuals forced to leave their homes due to conflicts and natural disasters. This figure represents an increase of approximately 50% from the previous year's total of 71.1 million IDPs. The rise in displacements is attributed to both new wars and ongoing, drawn-out conflicts.
We have never, ever recorded so many people forced away from their homes and communities.
How could the people get back to their normal lives tomorrow, even with a ceasefire or even in a few months? It's going to take years to rebuild the houses that have been destroyed.
It is a damning verdict on the failures of conflict prevention and peace-making.
