UNCHR Mid-Year Trends 2016 Report
Abstract
The human tragedy of massive forced displacement continued to unfold
around the world during the first half of 2016 with conflict, persecution,
generalized violence, and violations of human rights causing forced
displacement to increase further. The first half of the year saw
persistent conflict in many regions, notably Nigeria, Yemen, South
Sudan and the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria), leading millions to flee their
homes, most remaining displaced within their own country but many
also leaving for other countries.
