World must do more to care for refugees -Arab news
Statistics released by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) last week make for grim reading. Close to 80 million people in the world are now displaced, out of which 26 million are classified as refugees. The former number constitutes about 1 percent of humanity. When you dig deeper, things look even bleaker. The number of displaced people has doubled in less than 10 years. Some 68 percent of refugees come from just five countries: Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Myanmar. Three of these countries have majority Muslim populations, while 1.1 million Rohingya, who are also Muslim, have fled Myanmar because of what can only be described as genocide.
