The United Nations' refugee agency is calling on greater global cooperation as the number of people displaced by war, persecution and conflict rises to a new high. The U-N-H-C-R's Global Trends Report showing over 70 million people were displaced in 2018.
The number of people fleeing war, persecution and conflict has risen to a 70-year high with 70.8 million people displaced from their homes in 2018.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR annual Global Trends report shows that's 2.8 million more people than in 2017.
That means roughly 37,000 people were forced to leave their homes every day last year because of war.
