The global refugee crisis

In 2018 the number of people displaced worldwide by violence, persecution, or natural disaster had reached 68.5 million. The world faces an unprecedented crisis as people flee their homes, seeking safety, peace, and a better future for themselves and their families. Refugees set off, often on foot or by boat, on dangerous journeys to cross international borders where they can apply for asylum, or protection, in a new country. While many countries welcome refugees and other asylum seekers, others do not. Do we have the resources--and the will--to provide hope and a future for all the world's citizens?.
