Report estimates 33.3 million internally displaced people
GENEVA, Switzerland, May 16 (UPI) --Violent conflicts forced approximately 33.3 million people to become internally displaced by the end of 2013, says a United Nations-backed report. According to the "Global Overview 2014," a report released Wednesday by the United Nations in Geneva, the 33.3 million internally displaced people in 2013 reflects a record high for the second year in a row, and an increase of 4.5 million IDPs from 2012.
