Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons

Refugees are individuals who flee their home country due to persecution, armed conflict, or violence, seeking safety in another country. They are often granted legal status in the new country, which provides them protection. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), on the other hand, are people who have been forced to leave their homes due to similar circumstances but remain within their own country. While both groups face significant hardships and require assistance, refugees cross international borders, while IDPs stay within their national boundaries, often lacking the same legal protections and resources as refugees.
