war refugees
Fleeing armed violence
War refugees are people forced to flee their country because of armed conflict.
The term emphasizes displacement caused by warfare rather than persecution, natural disaster, or economic hardship.
Millions of war refugees crossed into neighboring countries.
War refugees often face uncertain legal status, as international protections technically apply to those fleeing persecution rather than combat zones specifically.
