The number of people who have had to flee their homes because of conflict, persecution or human rights violations has reached 110 million, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The war in Sudan, which has displaced nearly two million people since April is the latest in a list of crises that has led to the record-breaking figure.
