Hey guys, it's Kana.
Today, I write about a very important thing because I would like you guys to know.
The thing is REFUGEES.
I know you have already known 'refugee' but I will write who is a refugee first of all.
A refugee is a person who has fled armed conflict or persecution and who subsequently has the right to seek protection in another country under international law.
*An asylum-seeker is someone who says they are a refugee, but whose claim has not yet been definitively evaluated.
*Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are people who have been forced to flee their homes, but who have not crossed any international borders to seek safety.
REFUGEES WORLDWIDE
Around the world, more than 40,000 people are forced from their homes every single day.
In total, almost 60 million people in the world are refugees or internally displaced persons (IDPs) in their home countries.
50% of the world's refugees are under 18 years old.
More than 50% of the world's refugees are from 3 countries - Syria, Afghanistan & Somalia.
86% of refugees are hosted by developing countries.
I wrap this blog up around here.
I will write about a story about refugee next blog.
See you next blog!!
