The figure marked a rise of 8.3 million persons over the previous year, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in new data as it released its annual Global Trends Report: World at War.
India as a country of origin had 10,433 refugees and 16,709 asylum seekers with pending cases in 2014; and 1,99,937 refugees and 5,074 pending cases of asylum seekers as country of asylum for the same year.
Globally, one in every 122 humans is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum. If this were the population of a country, it would be the world’s 24th biggest, the report said.
On an average, every day of 2014, around 42,500 people became refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced, a four-fold increase in just four years.
