What is the difference between a victim and a refugee?
Refugees usually refer to people who are forced to leave their homes because of beliefs, racial persecution, war or political reasons, natural disasters and other reasons. Refugees will be displaced, mainly influenced by political factors, and may be persecuted if they stay in their country of origin. Some of them are stateless and forced to seek external help and move on a large scale.

Victims are usually caused by natural disasters. It can be caused by natural disasters, famine, nuclear leakage, earthquakes and so on. We mainly need financial assistance and psychological trauma counseling to tide over the difficulties.

Whether it has regional characteristics. Refugees are usually regional, mainly concentrated in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, while the victims have no regional characteristics and are mainly affected by climate and geological factors.

Whether it is necessary to be displaced to other countries. Refugees usually need to leave their homes and live in other countries. The victims can wait until the disaster is over, get financial assistance, rebuild in situ, and still avoid displacement. In China, it is usually the victims, not the refugees.

The speed and difficulty of returning to normal life are different. Refugees have been persecuted for a long time, and they have no normal education and skills. Psychologically speaking, it is very difficult to rebuild life. The reform from thought to action needs long-term and systematic assistance, and the refugee problem is even more difficult to solve. Before the disaster, the victims, like ordinary people, had little influence on their skills and right to education and were able to save themselves. After receiving financial assistance, you can quickly recover from the disaster and re-establish life order.

Different identities. In recent years, European countries are under great pressure to face the "refugee problem". Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, had previously opened a channel for refugees, but she was criticized for bringing great risks to her country. European countries are now more conservative in accepting refugees. The refugee problem began to be re-examined. The victim is still his own citizen, and there is no identity problem.
