Today marks World Refugee Day, which the
United Nations uses to raise awareness of the plight of the estimated 42
million displaced people worldwide. A UN report released this week
showed that 800,000 people were forced to flee across borders last year
-- more than any time since 2000. In a message to mark the day, UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said, "Refugees leave because they have no
choice. We must choose to help."
