Editor's Note:
The World Refugee Day falls on June 20 every year. The UN released that a record of 65.6 million people were displaced by the end of 2016, according to an AFP report on June 19, 2017. However, conflicts rage on in Iraq, Syria, South Sudan and other parts of the world, which are still producing more refugees.
