The Battle for Raqqa, expected to be one of the fiercest since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, is intensifying. The assault to take the city from ISIS has displaced more than 100,000 people since April. Some 200,000 are thought to remain trapped in ISIS-controlled areas of the city, which once boasted a population of more than half a million. In all, up to 370,000 people could be displaced by fighting.

Conflict is raging between Rakhine Buddhists and Muslim minority groups in Rakhine, one of Myanmar's poorest states. In 2012 many Muslims, including Rohingya, were attacked by their neighbours and forced into government camps as their villages were destroyed.

That number could soon reach 1 million as the world’s fastest growing humanitarian crisis continues.
