Why It's Important?
The rising number of displaced individuals poses significant challenges for host countries and international organizations. The strain on resources and infrastructure in host countries, particularly in developing regions, is immense. The crisis also highlights the need for comprehensive international policies to manage refugee flows and provide adequate support to affected communities. The situation underscores the importance of addressing the underlying causes of displacement, such as conflict and human rights violations, to prevent further escalation of the crisis.
