Earth timelapse of global refugees

in history •  7 years ago 

We read a lot about the numbers of refugees, but it is hard to grasp it without a nice visualization. On just that, Explorables did a very nice job.

Just wanted to share this cool visualization made from data of all refugees of the past 15 years. It is stunning to see how streams skyrocketed in the last 10 years. Especially the last few years were very big in numbers...
