The Heat: Our world’s tragically displaced

The Heat

The world is experiencing historic levels of mass migration. There are now more refugees and displaced people than at any time since World War II.

About 60 million people fall into that category. Europe is the epicenter of the crisis where hundreds of thousands have sought refuge this past year.
Many are fleeing wars and conflicts while others are trying to find better economic opportunities.
