5 Countries with the Highest Homeless Population

4. Syria

Homeless Population in 2024: 6,568,000

Syria, a country facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, has a homeless population of over 6.5 million people. The primary reason for the homelessness crisis in Syria is political conflict and an unstable economy. There is also a high rate of poverty and unemployment in the country, and 90% of the population lives in poverty and relies on humanitarian aid for survival. Non-profit organizations like Action for Humanity are working to provide aid to the vulnerable people in the country, including the displaced and homeless. Action for Humanity has built a town for displaced Syrians, which houses around 500 families.
