This is reported in one of the latest UN reports.

“This is the highest figure in history and it is more than double the level of a decade ago (41 million in 2010).

This is 4% more than in 2019, ”explains the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.

He added that measures to restrict movement between countries have made it difficult for refugees from conflict regions: 99 of the more than 160 countries that have closed their borders due to COVID-19 have made no exceptions for asylum seekers.
