What countries have produced the most refugees?

Seventy percent of all refugees come from 10 countries/territories. More than one-fourth of the world's refugees are Palestinians.

15 seconds on google and we see that the palestinian people have had these issues for a while... the date is 2005, so this is not JUST because of the recent issues in gaza... the issues are there none the less... whats going to solve it?



As of December 31, 2005, the largest source countries of refugees are the Palestinian Territories, Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, and Sudan. The country with the largest number of IDPs is Sudan, with over 5 million. According to UNHCR estimates, over 4.7 million Iraqis have been displaced since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, with 2.7 million within Iraq and 2 million in neighbouring countries.[4][5][6] At least 60,000 Iraqis are losing their homes and becoming refugees every month.[7] [8]

The Palestinian refugee problem began with the creation of the state of Israel. I'm not claiming that it was from Gaza. Rather, Israel has been hard at work to set this record number for a long time.

^^ Are you serious?

Africa is on a whole different level.

It has the highest refugee rate on Earth. And will never be surpassed. It grows at a constant rate, and although the Middle East bolds (terribly) high refugee rates right now, they will eventually decline.
