We all know there is a refugee crisis, that there are millions of people living in refugee shelters. But what about people who are internally displaced within their own countries and therefore don’t qualify for international assistance?
People who cross an international boarder because of war and conflict are labeled as “refugees” and are legally required to receive international aid while those who are displaced internally or internationally because of environmental factors may not receive such assistance.
This chart compares the number of people in Latin America who were displaced because of war and conflict versus, those who were displaced because of environmental factors between 2016-2018.
