MORE people are on the run than ever before in recorded history, the United Nations (UN) said in a report released on Monday.
They include people fleeing marauders in South Sudan, drug gangs in Central America, and the Islamic State in the Iraqi cities of Mosul and Fallujah. While most are displaced within their own countries, an unprecedented number are seeking political asylum in the world's rich countries. Nearly 100,000 are children who have attempted the journey alone.
