This indicator captures the unprecedented occurrences of individuals or groups forced to abandon their homes due to factors such as armed conflict, pervasive violence, human rights violations, or catastrophic disasters, while remaining within their country's borders. It specifically quantifies the
newly recorded incidents of displacement throughout the year, emphasizing the dynamic nature of displacement rather than simply counting individuals. This nuanced approach acknowledges that many may experience multiple displacements, thus providing a clearer picture of the ongoing humanitarian crisis. By tracking these new cases, policymakers and humanitarian agencies can better understand the scale and evolving needs of those affected, informing targeted interventions and support mechanisms.
