The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) voices concern about escalating violence in the Central African Republic (CAR).

The UNHCR expresses alarm over tribal violence in Sudan’s conflict-ridden Darfur region, saying the conflict has killed at least 250 people and displaced more than 100,000 others.

The UN says over 90,000 people have been displaced in Yemen's strategic central province of Ma’rib since January due to intense fighting.

The region's youth have been mobilized to help out, working to build temporary dams.

From sexual violence in displacement camps to extra farm work and greater risk of illness, women shoulder a bigger burden from worsening extreme weather and other climate pressures, a global aid group says.

More than one million people have been forced to flee their homes in the violence-ravaged eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) since the start of the year, the UN says.

The United Nations says nearly 80 million people worldwide were uprooted at the end of 2019 after fleeing wars or persecution.

More than one percent of the world's population have now been forced to flee their homes, the UN says.

Nearly 80 million people, or one percent of the world population, were displaced due to war, violence, and persecution by the end of last year, the United Nations (UN) refugee agency says.
