In 2025, many people had to leave their homes. Most of them left because of war and violence. More people left due to war than to nature disasters. The IDMC center in Geneva says this. There were 32,2 million people on the run due to war. This is a big increase. Most of these people live in Iran and Kongo. Nature disasters like storms caused 29,9 million people to flee. This is less than in the year before.
A person must leave their home because of danger. But they stay in their own country. We call these people Binnen-Vertriebene. One person can leave their home many times. In 2025, 82,2 million people were Binnen-Vertriebene worldwide. Most of them live in Sudan, Colombia, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan.
Jan Egeland works for a relief group. He warns about the bad situation. The world does not protect the Zivil-Bevfolkerung enough. Many families cannot go back to their homes. The homes are broken. The IDMC collects data about this since 1998.
