We plan to assess the situation in the town and in the two IDP (internally displaced person) camps.
In the afternoon we try to make the most of the couple of hours of light left, and we leave for a tour around town and the two IDP camps.
Of those forcibly displaced by the end of 2013, 16.7 million were refugees, 1.1 million asylum seekers, and 33.3 million IDPs.
Of these, 15.4 million were refugees, 937,000 asylum seekers, and 28.8 million IDPs, the highest level in two decades.
The number of 28.8 million IDPs is the highest level in more than two decades, mainly because of the war in Syria.
Syria alone accounted for 3.2 million refugees and 6.5 million IDPs, with the other largest numbers coming from Afghanistan and Somalia.
In 2011 UNHCR assisted more than 17 million IDPs in 25 countries and served as the lead agency in 21 humanitarian-assistance operations.
Nineteen African countries accounted for 11.6 million IDPs, and The Sudan, Colombia, and Iraq were home to the largest number of internally displaced persons.
According to UN estimates in 2002, there were between 20 million and 25 million IDPs worldwide, with major concentrations in The Sudan, Angola, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and countries of the former Soviet Union.
Reliable epidemiological data on the burden of mental health conditions and key risk factors is crucial in helping to design appropriate trauma-informed mental health and psychosocial support responses for the estimated 1.4 million IDPs in Ukraine.
