As of April 2025, approximately 122 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide (UNHCR 2025a). War, violence, and persecution continue to act as primary push factors of displacement. With the number of interstate conflicts nearly doubling since 2010, the global landscape has seen a rise in instability, with millions fleeing their homes in search of safety (UNHCR 2025b). While at the time of writing, Israel’s ongoing actions in Gaza—widely condemned for their exceptionally high civilian death toll and the use of genocidal tactics (United Nations Human Rights Council 2022)—have attracted significant media and public attention in Europe, and, globally, it is important to recognise that other regions are also experiencing severe and sustained violence. Sudan, for instance, has been embroiled in civil war since April 2023, resulting in millions of internally displaced people and refugees. The population faces a severe humanitarian crisis, including food insecurity, localised famine, and major disruptions to aid access (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) 2024). According to the ACLED Conflict Index, a global assessment of conflicts based on deadliness, danger to civilians, geographic diffusion, and the number of armed groups, Palestine, Myanmar, Syria, and Mexico are among the countries most acutely impacted by violence (Raleigh and Kishi 2025).
