I choose an article “Displaced people: Why are more fleeing home than ever before?” by The Visual and Data Journalism Team of BBC News because according to the statistics, more than 13 million people have been forcibly displaced in 2018. According to the article and statistics provided by UNHCR, there has been more fleeing of one’s country than ever before, reasons ranging from devastating wars, political tensions, and natural disasters that have contributed to the rise. Places around the world that hurt/suffered the most during this time were the ones that we constantly hear in the news, at least some, which are: Syria, Afghanistan, countries in Africa, South America, and more. More than half of all 70.8 million displaced people remained in their own countries. In These nations, places hit by conflict and violence are the ones most affected. By the end of 2018, Syrians were the highest forcibly displaced population.”Adding up IDP’s (Internally displaced people), refugees, and asylum seekers, there were 13 million Syrians driven fro their home” followed by Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and many others with huge volume of displaced people. 70.8 million people in the year 2018, which was the highest recorded data, and has doubled in the last 20 years. According to article and UNHCR, internal conflicts such as wars or other political inequalities, result in more people who are forcible displaced. With that in mind, refugees are leaving their country and seeking assist in foreign countries while many others are just staying in their countries, forcibly displaced and no where to go, and that according to statistics are the people who are in most danger.
