📖 Key Information
A migrant crisis occurs when large numbers of immigrants—including refugees, asylum seekers, or displaced persons—move into a destination country, often overwhelming its systems and communities. These movements are typically triggered by unrest, economic hardship, or political instability in the migrants' countries of origin. The sudden influx of people often strains public services, infrastructure, and social cohesion, placing undue pressure on citizens and local governments.
