According to the annual report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), at the end of 2021, there were 89.3 million people fleeing war, violence, persecution, and human rights violations - a figure more than double that calculated 10 years earlier, and one that still does not take into account the approximately 12 million Ukrainians forced to flee because of war.
