BERLIN: For the first time in history, the number of refugees worldwide has risen to 100 million, according to UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi. The number was 9 crore. Currently, the ongoing war in Ukraine has increased to an unprecedented 10 million.
10 crore is 1 percent of the world’s population. This includes not only refugees but also violence, human rights abuses, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons. 53.2 percent are refugees in their home country. Many countries are providing humanitarian assistance to those who lost their homes and possessions during the Ukraine war. This is exciting. “
