Displaced populations refer to groups of people who have been forced to leave their homes due to various reasons, such as conflict, natural disasters, or persecution. These individuals often seek safety and stability in new locations, which can lead to challenges in accessing basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare.
Displacement can occur within a country, resulting in internally displaced persons (IDPs), or across borders, leading to refugees. Organizations like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) work to support these populations by providing assistance and advocating for their rights in host communities.
