According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, the number of refugees and internally displaced people has reached its highest point since World War II. The total number of people forced from homes due to violence, has reached up to 60 million. Syria is world’s biggest source of refugees. Adding to the number, natural disasters displace an average of 27 million people each year, based on a 2013 Norwegian Refugee Council report. Global bodies like the UN and activists around the world, call attention towards the plight of refugees across countries.
