This interactive data visualization powerfully conveys the growing crisis of internal displacement from 2013 to 2022. Drawing on data from the 2023 Global Report on Internal Displacement by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center, it highlights the alarming rise in forced movements within national borders due to conflict and violence. By 2022, a record 28.3 million people were displaced, with 60% of global displacements stemming from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where civilians repeatedly fled from shifting frontlines. Through this visualization, I aim to evoke a sense of overwhelming scale and urgency, capturing the exponential increase in displacement and the profound human impact of these crises.
