TL;DR Summary

The UNHCR's Global Trends Report for 2022 reveals that a record-breaking 110 million people have been forcibly displaced due to conflict, persecution, or human rights violations. The war in Sudan has displaced nearly 2 million people since April, while the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to the fastest and largest displacement of people since World War II. Most refugees are hosted by low to middle-income countries in Asia and Africa, with Turkey hosting the most refugees. The number of stateless people has also risen to 4.4 million, and the US has the largest backlog in its asylum system.
