World Refugee Day

Today is World Refugee Day, and basically there are a LOT of refugees. The largest single group of refugees currently is Iraqi, I think Palestinians are the next biggest group, but 443 Million are displaced and upt to 17 Million internally displaced people.

Pakistan is the host for the most refugees though.

Why so many? War, and then environmental degradation and natural disasters.

So many who want to go home never can go home.
