Ten countries accounting for 2.5 percent of world gross domestic product host more than half the world‘s refugees, Amnesty International said Tuesday, as it slammed what it called the selfishness of wealthy nations.

In a report on the plight faced by the world’s 21 million refugees, the London-based human rights body lamented that countries immediately neighboring crisis zones bear the brunt of the global refugee problem.

Some 56 percent of refugees are sheltered in 10 countries, according to the report in which Amnesty proposes a solution to find homes for 10 percent of the planet’s refugees each year.
