The lethal mix of conflict, COVID-19, poverty, food insecurity and climate emergency has compounded humanitarian plight of the displaced, flags report  

As many as 50.9 people were internally displaced across 33 countries due to conflict and violence in the first six months of 2021, according to a report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The number is nearly five per cent more than the 48.6 million reported at the end of 2020, according to the Mid-Year Trends 2021 report published November 11, 2021. 

The report showed that the trend of rising forced displacement continued into 2021, with global numbers now exceeding 84 million, an increase from 82.4 million at the end of 2020. This resulted largely from internal displacement.

More than 4.3 million new displacements were reported by 18 countries — 50 per cent more than the estimated 2.9 million people displaced during the same period in the previous year, the report said.

Much of the new internal displacement were in Africa, including in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1.3 million), Ethiopia (1.2 million), Central African Republic (202,500), South Sudan (170,400), Nigeria (164,600), Mozambique and Burkina Faso.
