Displaced 8/20/2020 11:42:34 AM
While the heartbreaks and losses the displaced Tur people of Sevia must endure are of course fictional, in our real world, millions of people have lost their homes due to conflict, and have been forced to flee their home countries.
Here are a few statistics from the UNHCR website:
As of 2019, at least 79.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes. Of these, a staggering 26 million have become refugees. Half of them are children under the age of 18.
The majority of the world’s refugees come from just three countries—Syria, Venezuela and Afghanistan, and not surprisingly, the top three refugee-hosting countries are currently Turkey, Colombia and Pakistan.
Many refugees spend years waiting in camps or temporary villages for displaced people, others travel in hopes of a better chance, but all struggle to find the support they need to restart their lives.
