Description: Conflict, violence and disasters triggered 38 million internal displacements across 141 countries and territories in 2021. The global figure for conflict and violence was the highest ever recorded at 14.4 million, and individual countries including Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Afghanistan also registered all-time highs. Many communities fled repeatedly as conflict frontlines shifted. Camps hosting internally displaced people (IDPs) were attacked in some countries, forcing people to move again. The global figure for disaster displacements was lower than in 2020 at 23.6 million. Large Asian countries including China, the Philippines and India recorded the highest figures as in previous years, but significant displacement also took place in smaller countries such as Haiti and Sri Lanka.
