Record 59.1 million people were registered as internally displaced worldwide in 2021 as conflicts and natural disasters forced tens of millions to flee within their own country
Despite the hike in conflict-related displacement, natural disasters continued to account for most new internal displacement.
Around 38 million new internal displacements were reported in 2021, with some people forced to flee multiple times during the year, according to the report. IDMC director Alexandra Bilak told reporters that the record numbers seen in 2021 marked "a tragic indictment really on the state of the world and on peace-building efforts in particular"."The world is falling apart," he told reporters.In 2021, sub-Saharan Africa counted the most internal movements, with more than five million displacements reported in Ethiopia alone, as the country grappled with the raging and expanding Tigray conflict and a devastating drought.
The Middle East and North Africa region recorded its lowest number of new displacements in a decade, as the conflicts in Syria, Libya and Iraq de-escalated somewhat, but the overall number of displaced people in the region remained high.
