The 2017 Global Report on Internal Displacement  presents the latest data and trends of internal displacement by conflict and disasters worldwide, and includes spotlights on countries, regions and issues of particular concern. The focus of the GRID 2017 is on the connections between internal and cross-border displacement, the factors that force internally displaced people (IDPs) across borders, and the issue of refugees being returned home, sometimes against their will, only to become internally displaced again. Despite the fact that IDPs outnumber refugees by two to one, internal displacement is still neglected as an issue of global concern. There were 31.1 million new cases of internal displacement brought on by conflict, violence and disasters in 2016. This is the equivalent of one person forced to flee every second

This report presents the cumulative figure of displacement caused by conflict. By the end of 2016 there were 40.3 million people living in internal displacement caused by conflict and violence in 56 countries and territories. The total number of people has nearly doubled since 2000 and has increased sharply over the last five years.
