refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)

Refugees are people who have fled their home country due to conflict, persecution, or danger, and seek safety in another country. Internally displaced persons (IDPs), on the other hand, are individuals who are forced to leave their homes but remain within their own country's borders. Both groups are highly vulnerable and often need international assistance and protection. The main difference is that refugees cross international borders, while IDPs stay within their nation's territory despite facing similar threats.
