The number of people forced to flee conflict, violence, human rights violations and persecution has now crossed the staggering milestone of 100 million for the first time on record, propelled by the war in Ukraine and other deadly conflicts, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Not since World War II has such a massive wave of human dislodgement taken place within Europe.
As the Russia-Ukraine war continues, nearly 100,000 Ukrainians have fled to Turkey since the start of the war on Feb. 24, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in early May.
Turkey has been a key transit point for asylum-seekers aiming to cross to Europe to start new lives, especially those fleeing war and persecution. The country already hosts 4 million refugees, more than any other country in the world, and is taking new security measures on its borders to humanely prevent a fresh influx of migrants.
