    We use novel survey data to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Libyan population. In our sample, 9.5% of respondents report that a household member has been infected by COVID-19, while 24.7% of them have suffered economic damages and 14.6% have experienced negative health effects due to the pandemic. Our analysis focuses on the differences between IDPs and non-displaced individuals, controlling for individuals and household characteristics, geo-localized measures of economic activity and conflict intensity. Displaced individuals do not experience higher incidence of COVID-19 relative to comparable non-displaced individuals, but are about 60% more likely than non-displaced respondents to report negative economic and health impacts caused by the pandemic. Our results suggest that the larger damages suffered by IDPs can be explained by their weaker economic status - which leads to more food insecurity and indebtedness - and by the discrimination they face in accessing health care.

    Forced displacement results from some form of direct or indirect violence or factors known as push factors. Such migration is not an outcome of volition but of coercion. Based on a systematic review of relevant literature, this report presents rapidly rising trends of forced displacement in the Asia and Pacific region. Three main causes of forced displacement are outlined and discussed-violence, inequality and environment and climate change. Following a political economy analysis, the report stresses the intersectionality of the three factors that ultimately results in forced displacement. The report highlights systemic inequality as the root cause for forced displacement and concludes that force displacement, if remains unchecked, could pose challenges to achieve the goals of inclusive and sustainable development as well as achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 in the region. The report recommends recognizing forced displacement as an emergent vulnerability that would require a coordinated humanitarian and developmental approach to tackle its rapid rise.

    The emergence of terrorist group Daesh in 2014 and the international military campaign against it caused humanitarian crisis and mass displacement in Iraq. About 5.8 million people became internally displaced, and as of 2021, 1.2 million remain in displacement. This article engages with the question of what motivates people to return from displacement to their area of origin. It investigates the role religion played in the decision of internally displaced Christians to return to Baghdeda in the Ninewa Plain, Iraq's largest Christian town. Based on qualitative interviews, the article examines the factors influencing people's decisions to return. We find that religion constitutes an important factor influencing the decision to return, within the nexus of other considerations such as economic opportunities, reconstruction, and security. Religion thereby plays a role because of the respondents' Christian identity, the encouragement to return by religious leaders, and the reconstruction efforts led by the churches.
