Parsing problem -- can two clauses share a single predicate?

Question

この中の４９０万人ぐらいは、近くの国に逃げて難民になりました。ヨーロッパで難民の申請をしている人は１２０万人ぐらい、国の中で逃げている人は６３０万人います。
Around 4.9 million of these (people) have escaped to nearby countries and become refugees. As for the people who have applied for refugee status in Europe, approximately 1.2 million, there are 6.3 million people escaping to these countries.

Please help me to parse the sentence in bold. My translation doesn't make sense. This is my understanding so far:

1) So the topic is ヨーロッパで難民の申請をしている人 people who have applied for refugee status in Europe

2) ６３０万人います there are 6.3 million (people who have applied)

But I can't make １２０万人ぐらい、国の中で逃げている人は fit into this structure.

Then I thought maybe it is two separate sentences:

ヨーロッパで難民の申請をしている人は１２０万人ぐらい
(there are) approximately 1.2 million people who have applied for refugee status in Europe

and

国の中で逃げている人は６３０万人います
There are 6.3 million people who are escaping to these countries.

But that first sentence isn't a sentence. There's no predicate. Maybe it assumes the predicate at the end (いる)?

Also I think I'm mistranslating 国の中で because I thought that should be 'among these countries' but that translation doesn't seem to fit.

I'm very confused.

Answer 1

Here is the original article.

戦争が始まった２０１１年から、全部で１２４０万人が自分の家に住むことができなくなりました。これはシリアの人口の半分以上です。この中の４９０万人ぐらいは、近くの国に逃げて難民になりました。ヨーロッパで難民の申請をしている人は１２０万人ぐらい、国の中で逃げている人は６３０万人います。

So among the 12.4 million Syrian people who were driven out of their home,

• 4.9M people went to nearby countries: 近くの国に逃げて難民になった
• 1.2M people went to European countries: ヨーロッパで難民の申請をしている
• The remaining 6.3M people are still in Syria: 国の中で逃げている

国の中で逃げている here means "to evacuate inside the country = Syria". 国の中で means "in the country." Why did you see "to"? で is a plain old place marker (="in/at") here.

In the last sentence, one main verb います is shared by both two topics marked with は. (「Aは120万人、Bは630万人います。」 ≒ 「Aは120万人いて、Bは630万人います。」）

My translation would be:

There are approximately 1.2 million people who are applying for refugee status in Europe, and (there are) 6.3 million people who are evacuating inside their country.
