New Global IDP Survey

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC, formerly the Global IDP Project) released its annual survey of trends in international displacement yesterday. Internal Displacement: Global Overview of Trends and Developments in 2006 estimates that 24.5 million IDPs have been displaced by conflict around the world, a majority of them women and children. Read the report for more facts and figures, an analysis of overall trends, regional overviews, thematic overviews, and statistics. The press release announcing the launch of the survey is here.

Previous annual surveys are available via IDMC's publications page.
