How many people have been displaced by the war?

• A. 1 million.
• B. Over 10 million.
• C. 100 thousand.
• D. 50 thousand.

Answer: (B)

Wartime displacement is measured by how many people are forcibly forced to leave their homes, including those who become refugees abroad and those who remain inside their country as internally displaced persons. In major modern conflicts, the numbers are in the millions, not thousands. The option that says more than ten million best captures this scale, since it reflects the global impact of large wars. Smaller figures like fifty thousand, one million, or ten million or less grossly underestimate the breadth of displacement seen in these crises. For context, conflicts such as the Syrian war have produced displacement totals well over ten million when counting both refugees and IDPs. So the figure indicating over ten million is the most accurate representation of the affected population in a large war.
