5. South Sudan
Number of refugees: 778,700
South Sudan ranks 5th in our list of the countries that produce the most refugees in the world. In July 2016, the problems in South Sudan escalated so much that citizens were forced to the point of absolute starvation and had nothing to survive on except goat bones and water lilies. This situation, which can be named nothing but an extreme humanitarian crisis, has brought another wave of refugees from South Sudan into neighboring countries. Some sources have estimated that the number of refugees may well have touched a million now as opposed to the 778,700 refugees at the end of 2015. We will have to wait for the next UNHCR report to be able to confirm the exact figure but there is no doubt about the fact that South Sudan will hold its spot among countries that produce the most refugees for years to come.
