Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 40
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The stereotypical image of internally displaced persons - reinforced by media reports - remains that of people who flee conflict areas and end up destitute in camps or collective shelters. The reality is far more complex. Every year more people are displaced by natural disasters and development projects than by conflict and violence. The majority of the displaced live with host families or communities, or merge with the urban poor.
