Overview
- A new IDMC and NRC report says 82.2 million people were living displaced within their countries at the end of 2025.
- The report counts 65.8 million new movements inside countries during 2025.
- Conflict drove 32.3 million movements and surpassed disasters, which caused 29.9 million after a drop from 2024 but still above the decade average, with wildfires forcing nearly 700,000 moves.
- Iran and the Democratic Republic of Congo each recorded about 10 million conflict displacements, concentrating most of the rise in a small number of countries.
- Funding cuts have reduced displacement data in 15% of monitored countries and monitors warn new wars in 2026 could push conflict-driven flight even higher.
