Paragraph text
While the numbers of IDPs are shocking, an even more surprising statistic is that the average duration of conflict-induced displacement is now a staggering 17 years. While some IDPs are able to return to their homes relatively quickly and with all the necessary assistance, for many, displacement is a protracted and life-changing experience which may last decades.
