displaced populations
People forced elsewhere
Displaced populations are groups of people forced to leave their homes, typically by war, persecution, natural disaster, or economic collapse.
The term encompasses refugees who cross international borders and internally displaced persons who remain within their country.
The camp housed displaced populations from three neighboring conflict zones.
Unlike migrants, displaced populations leave under duress rather than choice.
