Another 5.2 million people were in need of international protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grandi said this year&#8217;s record displacement is increasingly being matched by &#8220;a more hostile environment, especially when it comes to refugees, almost everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees indicated that about 76 percent of refugees fled to low- and middle-income countries, while 70 percent remained in neighboring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Grandi criticized Britain&#8217;s plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, as well as the strict measures taken by the United States regarding refugees, he welcomed the European Union&#8217;s steps towards an agreement on asylum and migration, describing it as a good attempt to balance the tensions surrounding the issue, and &#8220;relatively fair&#8221; for people on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Union is <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/99462\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set to pass the most stringent asylum reform<\/a> in its history. &#8220;There are issues of some concern. By and large however, I think it&#8217;s a positive step,&#8221; Grandi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the door to asylum in the European Union, the United States and Britain \u201cmust remain open \u2026 people must be able to seek asylum where they feel safe,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Hozan Zubair<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) announced in its annual report that, at the end of last year, the number of forcefully displaced people had reached 108.4 million \u2013 an increase of 19.1 million over 2021, and the largest ever since it began collecting this figure in 1975.
