China News Service, June 18, according to Agence France-Presse, on June 18, the United Nations Refugee Agency issued a report saying that as of the end of 2019, the number of people displaced globally was close to 80 million. This number has increased by almost 9 million compared with a year ago, and has almost doubled compared with 10 years ago.
Data Map: On March 1, 2020, some children from Afghanistan are heading to the border between Turkey and Greece.
According to the report, there are 79.5 million globally displaced people in 2019. In an interview with AFP, Grande, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said: "Due to war, persecution, human rights violations and other forms of violence, 1% of the world's population cannot return to their homes."
Grandi said, "This is a trend that has continued since 2012." "Conflict and violence are increasing, forcing people to leave their homes." This means "there is not enough political solution" to resolve conflicts and Crisis allows people to return home.
Grandy pointed out that 68% of the world’s refugees come from Syria, Afghanistan and other countries. About 40% of the refugees are children under the age of 18. In Syria, due to the ongoing civil war, the country has approximately 13.2 million refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons, accounting for one sixth of the world’s total.
According to the Russian Satellite Network report, Grandi said that the international community should adopt a brand-new attitude towards all refugees, including measures to resolve long-term conflicts.
