One fleeing, eg, war (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refugee

(Other definitions for refugee that I've seen before include "Person who seeks sanctuary in another country" , "One who may have left" , "One fleeing from persecution" , "One forced to flee" , "One seeks shelter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
