While some humanitarian crises remain in the headlines, others are pushed aside to make way for the next disaster.
Millions of refugees are trapped in silent emergencies that no longer make the news.
After almost a decade of conflict, 75 per cent of the Yemeni population needs humanitarian aid. In Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees face crisis after crisis, including floods and fires that ravage vulnerable camps. Meanwhile, in Sudan, armed conflict has forced more than seven million people to flee for their lives.
With the number of people displaced by conflict, disaster or persecution is at record highs, resources are stretched far too thin. Those in silent emergencies are at greatest risk of missing out on life-saving aid.
UNHCR responds to a new crisis every 10 days – but you don't hear about all of them.
