Many different factors can cause people to become refugees, but some of the major causes can be divided into three categories. These categories are natural disasters, conflict and inequality.
-
Natural Disasters
Natural disasters are very unpredictable, making them the deadliest factor which leads to the creation of refugees. These disasters often change the environment into an unsuitable place for human life. Often their is little warning and very few precautions taken place before such a disaster, leaving many homeless, injured or even killed.
-
Conflict:
War a serious problem, when it
comes to refugees. There are more refugees fleeing from war then there are for any other issue. Wars destroy the suitable environment and change it into an inhospitable place. They're often started when the prime minister
(or president) makes a wrong decision, when a country forces a trade, when a
country forces another to give land, when there is a greed for money or an
unstable economy
-
Inequality:
Refugees which flee from
inequality, aren’t usually able to return to their native country. This means
that to keep their rights, freedoms and religion, they need to leave everything
else behind. By doing so, they often face more obstacles then other types of refugee's.
