A refugee is someone who is displaced from their home nation and cannot return due to violence, disaster, or persecution. Refugees walk miles and miles to escape to neighboring countries. In other cases, they may use a boat or swim. The travel is dangerous and not all of them will survive. Along with malnutrition and exhaustion, there are other dangers they may face. Many are attacked by rogues or experience bombing.

World poverty is a wide-reaching and well researched concept. Its forms and causes are many, ranging from the effects of individual choices in the short term, or generational, systemic causes that are highly difficult to break. Geography, ethnicity, and education also factor in, making for a highly diverse set of causes that each could (and do) fill volumes of literature to discuss just one of these causes.

Poverty can be defined in many ways. Poverty is not one definition and it is not simply the opposite of wealth. Where you live will change your view on poverty. Broadly, world poverty can be defined as an inability to meet basic needs for a happy and healthy life.
