The statement is false. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution within their own country, but their own governments may not be able or willing to provide them with protection or assistance. The responsibility for their wellbeing often falls on international organizations or the international community as a whole. In contrast, refugees are forced to flee their home country and seek refuge in another country, and are protected under international law.
