Angelina Jolie Instagram – 1 million refugees have now fled Ukraine.
Before a single Ukrainian refugee crossed the border, there were already more than 82 million people forced from their homes globally – the highest number on record.
They include over 6 million Syrians – the world’s largest population of refugees – who’ve been displaced for over a decade already.
And over 1 million Rohingyas from Myanmar – who as well as being forcibly displaced, are also stateless.
And nearly 48 million people who have been forced from their homes by conflict and violence, who are living internally displaced within their own countries – in Yemen, in Somalia, in Afghanistan, in Ethiopia, and in so many other places.
All refugees and displaced people deserve equal treatment and rights.
