According to UN figures the number of people who have driver from their homes by war and persecution has now surpassed the UK’s population to equal the 21st largest country in the world, where more than 65.3 million people are currently refugees or are displaced in their own countries according to the United Nations the highest figure since records began before the Second World War.



 

Meanwhile the humanitarian organizations have warned that those forced to flee face an uncertain future with difficulties in education, employment, health and security. A refugee nation, which would have a population ranking 21st globally between Thailand and the UK, would have the 54th largest economy in the world if its citizens could gain employment equaling their skills, the charity has found.

Tanya Steele, interim CEO of Save the Children has said imagining all displaced people as citizens of one country recognizes their value as equal members of a global society and draws attention to the massive scale of the issues they face.



According to official figures which were compiled by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), refugees and internally displaced people account for one in every 113 people on Earth, where a total 65.3 million people were displaced at the end of 2015, compared to 59.5 million the year before and the record figure is expected to grow.
