REFUGIADOS

Mais de um por cento da humanidade obrigada a deslocar-se

June 18, 2020 - Um recorde de 79,5 milhões de pessoas, mais de um por cento
da humanidade, estavam deslocadas no final de 2019 devido
a guerra ou perseguição, segundo a agência das Nações Unidas para os refugiados.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in its annual “Global Trends” report that the number of asylum-seekers, internally displaced people and refugees shot up by nearly nine million from a year earlier – the biggest rise in its records.

UNHCR says the surge is due to a new way of counting people displaced from Venezuela and a “worrying” new displacement in the persistent trouble spots of Congo, the Sahel region of Africa, Yemen and Syria, which alone accounted for more than 13 million people on the move.

While the total figure of people facing forced displacement rose from 70.8 million at the end of 2018, some 11 million people were “newly displaced” last year, with poorer countries among those most affected.

UNHCR says forced displacement has nearly doubled from 41 million people in 2010, and five countries – Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar – are the source of nearly two-thirds of people displaced abroad.
