displaced people
Driven from home
Displaced people are those forced to leave their homes, typically by war, persecution, natural disaster, or political upheaval.
The term encompasses refugees who cross international borders and internally displaced persons who remain within their country.
Millions of displaced people fled the conflict zone.
Unlike migrants, displaced people leave not by choice but by necessity.
