“…..UNHCR's annual Global Trends report, released today, covers
displacement that occurred during 2012 based on data from governments, NGO
partners, and the UN refugee agency itself. The report shows that as of the
end of 2012, more than 45.2 million people were in situations of
displacement compared to 42.5 million at the end of 2011.

****

This includes 15.4 million refugees, 937,000 asylum seekers, and 28.8
million people forced to flee within the borders of their own countries.
The report does not include the rise in those forced from their homes in ***
*Syria**** during the current year.

****

War remains the dominant cause. A full 55 percent of all refugees listed in
UNHCR's report come from just five war-affected countries: **Afghanistan**,
**Somalia**, **Iraq**, **Syria** and ****Sudan****. The report also charts
major new displacement from **Mali**, in the **Democratic Republic of the
Congo**, and from **Sudan** into South Sudan and ****Ethiopia****.

****

"These truly are alarming numbers. They reflect individual suffering on a
huge scale and they reflect the difficulties of the international community
in preventing conflicts and promoting timely solutions for them," said
António Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees and head of UNHCR.

****

The report highlights worrisome trends, including the rate at which people
are being forced into situations of displacement. During 2012 some 7.6
million people became newly displaced, 1.1 million as refugees and 6.5
million as internally displaced people. This translates to a new refugee or
internally displaced person every 4.1 seconds…..”****
