People Displaced from Conflict in 2020 Tops 80 Million

HeadlineDec 09, 2020

The number of displaced people around the world because of conflict topped 80 million in 2020, in what the United Nations calls a “bleak milestone.” The U.N. said the pandemic exacerbated the displacement crisis, despite calls early on from the secretary-general for a global ceasefire while the world battles COVID-19. Areas that saw significant fresh displacement include Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Somalia, Yemen and Africa’s Central Sahel region.
