Almost 29 million people lived in internaldisplacement in 2012, with 6.5 million newly displaced just in the past year, a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council suggests.
The annual report by the Norwegian Refugee Council's InternalDisplacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) suggests internaldisplacement - in which people flee from violence without crossing their country's borders - will continue to accelerate unless permanent solutions to conflicts are found.
The continuing violence has produced, according to the UN, 300, 000 internal refugees in Darfur since January alone, the highest rate of displacement for several years.
