News: 2026 Global Report on Internal Displacement

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) launched the 2026 edition of its annual Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID) today. From the press release:

"Conflict and violence drove a record 32.3 million internal displacements in 2025, surpassing disaster displacements for the first time on record, according to the Global Report on Internal Displacement 2026 published today by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). 'Never have we recorded such a staggering number of displacements related to conflict,' said IDMC director Tracy Lucas. 'As conflicts are intensifying, it is often the same people who are uprooted again and again. Yet the systems meant to protect them are being dismantled.'   

   The number of internal displacements includes each instance a person is forced to flee within the borders of their own country, often multiple times over the course of the year. ...

   Disasters also continued to drive large-scale forced movement. Storms, floods and other hazards triggered 29.9 million internal displacements in 2025, a 35 per cent decrease compared with the exceptionally high levels of 2024, but still 13 per cent above the annual average of the past decade. ...

   Internal displacement remained highly concentrated: nearly half of all conflict IDPs (31.4 million) lived in just five countries, with Sudan hosting the largest number for the third consecutive year (9.1 million), followed by Colombia (7.2 m), Syria (6 m), Yemen (4.8 m) and Afghanistan (4.4 m)."

Visit 1) the landing page for highlights, graphics, regional/country overviews, and policy analysis, and 2) the publications page for the full report in English, and press releases and summaries in Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
