Sudan stands out with 11.6 million IDPs, the highest figure recorded in any single country.

The report reveals that a staggering 99.5% of disaster-related displacements were linked to weather-related events, largely exacerbated by climate change.

The report concludes with a call to action, urging global solidarity and financial support for displaced individuals in light of these alarming statistics.

These troubling statistics emerge as global humanitarian organizations grapple with financial challenges due to cuts in U.S. aid, which disproportionately affect IDPs compared to refugees.

The IDMC, established in 1998 by the NRC, highlights the critical need for global cooperation in addressing the crisis of displaced persons.

Despite experiencing 11 million displacements in the USA, only 22,000 individuals remained displaced at the end of 2024.

The report underscores that the causes of displacement are often interconnected, complicating crises and prolonging the hardships faced by displaced populations.

Many individuals face multiple displacements as they flee from one unsafe location to another, complicating their ability to return home.

By the end of 2024, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) worldwide surged to 83.4 million, driven by escalating conflicts and natural disasters.

Alexandra Bilak, director of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), noted that internal displacement is intricately linked with conflict, poverty, and climate crises, severely impacting vulnerable groups.

Jan Egeland, director of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), stressed the urgent need for global solidarity in light of these figures, warning that funding cuts threaten essential services for displaced individuals.

Egeland emphasized that these alarming statistics should act as a wake-up call for humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of IDPs.
