The scale of migration caused by refugee displacement is quite staggering. According to a recent report reference here in the NY Times nearly 60 million people (half of whom are children) are displaced around the world because of conflict and persecution, the largest number ever recorded by the United Nations. About 14 million of those fled in 2014 as the conflict in Syria, Libya and sub-Saharan Africa intensified.
