United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has called for support for more than 55 million Internally Displaced Persons IDPs within their own countries.
Guterres made the call while receiving the report by the High-Level Panel on Internal Displacement “Shining a Light on Internal Displacement: A Vision for the Future’’, released.
According to the report, nationally-owned solutions must be found for more than 55 million people displaced within their own countries.
The secretary-general said for several decades, the number of IDPs around the world had been growing, reaching record highs year after year.
