The Global Report presents the work carried out by UNHCR in 2020 to protect and improve the lives of tens of millions of people\u2014refugees, returnees, internally displaced people, stateless persons, and others of concern. It highlights the achievements and problems faced by UNHCR and its partners as it dealt with the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19 and still managed to respond to multiple crises and ever-growing displacement and humanitarian needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Global Report is complemented by the\u00a0Global Trends<\/a>, which sets out comprehensive data on forcibly displaced population. <\/p>\n\n\n\n COVID-19 was more than a public health disaster. It opened a new dimension of vulnerability for people who have been forced to flee from their homes, complicating the task of protecting them, assisting them and helping them to get home again, or to start over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Citizens everywhere looked to their governments for help, and the risks were high that many of the 91.9 million people of concern to UNHCR would fall through any cracks in the response.
