Uprooted from their homes and livelihoods, and traumatized by the violence or sudden disaster that forced them to flee, the displaced are often thrust into an extremely precarious future with few resources. Think of the 15 million Chinese displaced following the Sichuan earthquake, the more than two million Iraqis uprooted within their country’s borders by sectarian and other violence, the 2.4 million displaced in Darfur, or the hundreds of thousands who have fled Mogadishu in the last year.
被迫放弃他们的家园和生计，受到迫使他们逃离家园的暴力冲突或突如其来的灾害所带给他们的精神创伤，流离失所者常常面对着资源稀缺、极度不安定的未来。想一想在四川大地震后有1500万中国人流离失所，200多万伊拉克人因为宗派或其他性质的冲突而在他们国家里无家可归，达尔富尔有240万人流离失所，还有在去年有几十万人逃离了摩加迪沙。
