The number of forcibly displaced people has hit a record high with over 84 million people forced to flee from their homes due to conflicts and persecution. Among them are over 26.6 million refugees—85 percent of whom are hosted in low- and middle-income countries. At this moment, millions of refugees and displaced people from Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Ukraine are facing the most challenging moment of their lives. With your support, we can help save lives, protect human rights and build a better future for refugees and displaced people worldwide.
