to escape a government offensive in a conflict that began nine years ago, reports the BBC.

 

It also highlighted conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen, and Afghanistan.

The report suggests that more could be done to tackle climate change and to prepare for natural disasters, with millions of people displaced last year by cyclones and floods.

It calls on governments to ensure that those who have become displaced be given access to healthcare during the pandemic, and in the longer term, to address the causes of displacement.
