Rarely has the world seen the intensity and severity of change being experienced today in the Middle East. Among the record 60 million forcibly displaced people today around the world (the first time this level has been reached since World War II), more than 20 million are now suffering as refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and forced migrants in the Middle East. This includes approximately eight million IDPs in Syria and four million Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries such as Lebanon and Jordan, two million IDPs in Iraq, and large and growing numbers in Yemen. The level of forced displacement is higher than ever before, re-shaping the nature of development challenges in the region, including challenges of energy security.
