Conflict-driven internal displacement has an acute impact on the health of those who are forced to flee as internally displaced persons (IDPs). However, stratifications of gender, age and social diversity within a single IDP population, as well as broader distinctions between IDP populations in different countries, mean that the disease burden is not equally distributed.
