Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 18
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The phenomenon of displacement is currently, more than ever before, a global crisis. As at December 2013, an estimated 33.3 million persons were internally displaced by conflict and violence globally. In addition, in 2013 alone, some 22.4 million people were newly displaced within their own countries by disasters. Given new and ongoing crises, these figures are likely to have increased in 2014, with displacement at its highest level since the Second World War.
