The neglected crises

More than 117 million people around the world have been forced from their homes, yet new research shows that many crises driving this displacement remain almost entirely unknown to people in the UK.

Across countries such as Somalia, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, and Mozambique, families are fleeing conflict, climate disasters, and deepening poverty.

Many have had to escape more than once and are now living in overcrowded camps or makeshift shelters with little protection.

A survey of 2,000 UK adults reveals just how wide the awareness gap is.

Only eight per cent knew about the situations in Mozambique and Cameroon, where whole communities have been uprooted by violence.
