conflict-induced displacement

Conflict-induced displacement occurs when armed conflicts, such as wars or violent unrest, force people to leave their homes for safety. These individuals, called internally displaced persons (IDPs) or refugees if they cross borders, leave their communities to escape violence, persecution, or destruction. Displacement disrupts lives, separation from loved ones, and access to basic needs like shelter, healthcare, and education. It’s often temporary but can become protracted, creating significant social, economic, and psychological challenges for those affected. Addressing this issue requires protecting civilians and providing support for their safety and recovery.
