Shafaq News/ Around 6.7 million people could be forcibly displacedacross various countries in the next two years due to wars and attacks oncivilians, according to the Danish Refugee Council (DRC).
"We live in an age of war and impunity, and civilians are payingthe heaviest price," DRC Secretary General Charlotte Slente said in astatement, describing the crisis as a "moral failure."
The number of displaced people worldwide currently stands at 122.6million, up from 117 million in 2024, the council reported. According to itsGlobal Displacement Forecast, this figure is expected to rise by a staggering4.2 million in 2025—the highest projected increase since 2021—followed by anadditional 2.5 million forced displacements in 2026.
"These are not cold statistics. These are families forced to fleetheir homes, carrying next to nothing, and searching for water, food, andshelter," Slente affirmed.
Highlighting the root of the crisis, the council called the decision bythe US, the UK, and Germany to halt international aid “devastating,” stressingthat it has left millions of vulnerable people without essential support. Italso condemned US President Donald Trump's decision to cut 83% of USAID’shumanitarian assistance programs, calling it "a betrayal of the mostvulnerable."
In Sudan and Myanmar, civil wars are expected to account for nearly halfof the projected displacements. The council stated that about one-third of newdisplacements will occur in Sudan, where it described the humanitarian crisisas "the most urgent in the world." Currently, 12.6 million peoplehave already been displaced within the country and nearby nations.
In Myanmar, the intensifying multi-front civil war has already displaced3.5 million people, with around 20 million—one-third of thepopulation—requiring humanitarian aid. The country is reportedly expected to seean additional 1.4 million forced displacements by the end of 2026.
Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Yemen, andVenezuela are also expected to see rising displacement due to a combination ofarmed conflicts, climate change, the legacy of war, and socio-economicinstability.
