Appeal 2013

At the end of 2012, IDMC reported that some 28.8 million people throughout the world were living in displacement as a result of conflict and human rights violations. It also reported that a further 32.4 million people were displaced that year by sudden-onset natural hazards. Internal displacement situations are frequently complex, fluid and context-dependent. The needs of IDPs are rarely met and their rights are seldom respected.
