Global Appeal 2025 | Regional Overview
By mid-2024, the Americas hosted 20.3 million forcibly displaced or stateless people. This situation was primarily driven by displacement in Mesoamerica (Mexico and Central America), the Andean region, and the Caribbean. In the first eight months of 2024, 240,000 refugees and migrants crossed the Darién jungle which represents a significant decrease from the record 520,000 who made the dangerous journey in 2023.
