Today is World Refugee Day. New figures released by UNHCR show that 65.3 million people were displaced at the end of 2015, compared to 59.5 million just 12 months earlier. Of these 21.3 million are refugees*. The numbers and charts tell the story of the “refugee crisis”.
(*This does not include the 5.1 million Palestine refugees that fall under the mandate of UNRWA, the UN Relief Works Agency for Palestine Refugees)
