IDP (Internally Displaced Persons)

Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are individuals or groups who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, human rights violations, or natural disasters but remain within their country's borders. Unlike refugees, who cross international borders seeking safety, IDPs are still within their own nation. They often face challenges such as inadequate shelter, lack of access to basic services, and insecurity. The situation of IDPs is a significant humanitarian concern, as they may lack protection and assistance, highlighting the need for coordinated efforts to address their needs and rights.
