The number of people forcibly displaced around the world has climbed to a record 110 million people, according to a UNHCR report released on Wednesday. In the report, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi indicated that the increase of around 19 million people to 108.4 million by the end of last year is the biggest annual jump on record. “Solutions to these movements are increasingly difficult to even imagine, to even put on the table,” he said, adding “We are in a very polarized world, where international tensions play out all the way into humanitarian issues”.
