Since then, millions The border, with an increase in prices associated with blocked seed exports is regulated to trigger more movement elsewhere.
“If you have a food crisis above everything that I have explained – War, Human Rights, Climate – it will only accelerate the trends that I explained in this report,” Filippo Grandi told reporters this week, describing those numbers as ” staggering -huyung “.”Obviously the impact if this is not resolved quickly will be very destroying.” Already, more people fled because of the increase in prices and rebellion of violence in the African Shel region, he said.
Overall, the number of refugees has increased every year over the past decade, the UnhCR report said.

The European Union’s response to the refugee crisis has been “not equivalent”, added Grandi. He compared the quarrel between countries by taking small migrant groups that crossed the Mediterranean boat with the generosity of the European Union countries with Ukrainian refugees since the Russian invasion in February.Of course it proves important points: responding to the entry of refugees, until the arrival of people who are desperate on the coast or the border of rich countries cannot be managed,” he said. The report said that low and medium income countries hosted 83% of world refugees at the end of 2021.
