Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 41
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Internally displaced persons are some of the most vulnerable, having lost their homes, livelihoods, security and social and community networks and support. Many suffer from family separation during flight and trauma and health problems related to displacement and/or conflict or disasters. They may be at risk when they are present in or close to ongoing conflicts or disasters, or having to fend for themselves with little access to humanitarian or development assistance. The majority are outside of camps and difficult to reach. Innovative and creative approaches are needed to integrate their protection and assistance needs into development processes.
