The world’s neglecting vulnerable displaced people. Here’s where it’s worst
Al Jazeera
A report by the Norwegian Refugee Council says nine out of the 10 countries on the list are African.
Every year, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) publishes its report on the world’s most neglected displacement crises. These are the countries where millions are displaced, exposed to violence, famine, disease, and dispossession.
Burkina Faso has topped the list for the second year in a row, followed by Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mali, Niger, Honduras, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Chad and Sudan.
“The utter neglect of displaced people has become the new normal,” said Jan Egeland, secretary-general of NRC, in a statement on the report.
“The local political and military elites disregard the suffering they cause, and the world is neither shocked nor compelled to act by stories of desperation and record-breaking statistics.”
