Today, there are an estimated 16 million refugees in the world. Major refugee populations include Palestinians, Afghans, Iraqis, Somalis, Congolese, Sudanese and Myanmarese. From 2012-2015, roughly 120,000 Rohingya refugees fled their country by boat. The Rohingya are Muslims living mainly in Myanmar (formerly Burma). They face continued discrimination and violence due to their ethnicity. Myanmar denies the Rohingya Muslims citizenship, freedom to travel and education. Many neighboring countries, including Thailand and Malaysia, have turned these refugees away fearing overcrowding and social issues. In May 2015, thousands of Rohingya refugees were stranded at sea as a result. How many refugees are in the world today?
