civil war refugees
War-torn homeland escapees
People who flee their homes to escape armed conflict within their own country.
Civil war refugees may be displaced internally or cross borders seeking safety.
The term emphasizes that the violence driving displacement is domestic rather than between nations: The camp housed thousands of civil war refugees from the ongoing conflict.
