The number of people who have been forced to flee their homes has reached a staggering level, with 2015 on track to break previous records, according to a United Nations report released Friday.<br />People who have been forcibly displaced - including those who fled domestically as well as international refugees and asylum-seekers - has likely "far surpassed 60 million" for the first time, reads the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees report.<br />War in Syria has become the "single biggest generator worldwide of both new refugees and continuing mass internal and external displacement," the agency said .<br />The report, which covers the first six months of 2015, found that by June, the world had 20.2 million refugees - nearly 1 million more than a year before.
