UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimates 9,200,000 refugees in the world in 2004 published in “2004 Global Refugee Trends” UNHCR, June 2005.
2004 there were 25,000,000 internally displaced persons [IDP] in at least 49 countries, as per “Refugees by numbers” UNHCR, June 2005.
The average duration of major refugee situations has increased from 9 yrs (1993) to 17 yrs (2003) “Protracted Refugee Situations.” UNHCR, June 2004 .
Each time a catastrophe happens people get overwhelmed, and rise to help reach out for people in need. But however much we help the statistics leaves us baffled.
Can we outreach continuously as a community of designers/builders?
