截至 2025 年底，全球共有 4,160 萬名難民，包括受聯合國難民署保護的難民、處於類似難民處境的人士、其他需要國際保護的人士，以及受聯合國近東巴勒斯坦難民救濟和工程處（UNRWA）保護的巴勒斯坦難民。此外，另有 900 萬名尋求庇護者正等待其庇護申請結果。與此同時，因衝突或暴力而在本國境內流離失所的人數達 6,870 萬人。
2025 年，全球難民總數較 2024 年底下降 3%。這主要反映難民返回人數大幅增加，當中大部分返回阿富汗、敍利亞及蘇丹。境內流離失所者人數亦有所減少，主要由於剛果民主共和國、蘇丹及敍利亞出現大規模返回。然而，許多返回行動均在不利條件下進行，返回後的重新融入及重建生活仍面臨極大挑戰。
目前全球每 70 人中便有 1 人被迫流離失所，相當於全球人口的 1.4%。
截至 2025 年底，全球共有 4,160 萬名難民。
2025 年，共有 540 萬人被迫逃離家園，前往其他國家尋求安全。

Key displacement situations in 2025
Refugees
The global refugee population declined slightly by 3 per cent to reach 35.6 million at the end of the year. This includes 28.5 million refugees under UNHCR's mandate, including people in a refugee-like situation and 7.2 million other people in need of international protection. In addition, 6 million were Palestine refugees under UNRWA's mandate.
Seven in ten refugees under UNHCR's mandate and other people in need of international protection originate from just six countries: Afghanistan, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and Venezuela.
Most people fleeing conflict and persecution remain near their country of origin. At the end of 2025, 65 per cent of refugees were hosted in neighbouring countries, consistent with previous years. Low- and middle-income countries continue to host the majority of the world’s refugees, hosting 68 per cent of refugees and other people in need of international protection.
Colombia, Germany, Türkiye, Uganda, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Chad and Pakistan hosted the largest populations of refugees and other people in need of international protection.
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF REFUGEES ARE CHILDREN?
Children account for 39% of refugees.
HOW MANY REFUGEES RETURNED HOME?
In 2025, nearly 4.4 million refugees returned home.
WHERE DO MOST REFUGEES LIVE?
65% of refugees are hosted by neighbouring countries.

Reduce aid dependency and expand solutions: the High Commissioner's 50 by 35 vision
Long-term displacement is now a defining feature of the global refugee landscape, with most refugees remaining in host countries for extended periods. In this context, advancing self-reliance and durable solutions, alongside continued protection and targeted humanitarian support, is essential.
UNHCR aims to support States and partners in halving, by 2035, the number of refugees and other people in need of international protection in protracted displacement who are unable to meet their basic needs without external support.
The focus is to expand access to solutions and opportunities for self-reliance such as access to work opportunities, national education, health, and social protection systems, enabling refugees to live in dignity and security, realise their potential and move beyond prolonged need.
Going forwards, earlier inclusion, stronger self-reliance, upstream political efforts to prevent and reduce displacement, and sustained progress toward solutions over time will be core priorities.

Internally displaced people
Most people who are forced to flee never cross an international border, remaining displaced within their own countries. Known as internally displaced people, or IDPs, they account for 58 per cent of all forcibly displaced people. At the end of 2025, 68.7 million people remained internally displaced due to conflict and violence, a 7 per cent decrease from the end of 2024.
Sudan remains the largest internal displacement globally with 9.1 million people still displaced within the country at the end of the year.
At the end of 2025, 68.7 million people remained internally displaced within their own country.
46% of IDPs are displaced within just five countries: Sudan, Colombia, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan.
In 2025, UNHCR reported on internal displacement situations in 40 countries.
Solutions
In 2025, 14.7 million people returned to their areas or countries of origin, including nearly 4.4 million refugees and 10.3 million IDPs, representing a 49 per cent increase compared to 2024. Refugee returns were the second highest since UNHCR first reported return statistics in 1965.
92 per cent of all returns occurred in just seven countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (3.6 million), Sudan (3.5 million), Syria (3.3 million), Afghanistan (2 million), Ukraine (718,300) and Myanmar (415,200).
According to official government data, 81,800 refugees were resettled or arrived via sponsorship pathways. A further 93,500 refugees were naturalized or granted permanent residency during the year.

Refugee returns under adverse circumstances and/or to fragile contexts
Most refugees have a strong desire to return and rebuild their lives in their home country given adequate safety and stability.
However, most returns in 2025 occurred under adverse circumstances or to extremely fragile contexts. Afghan refugees were often compelled to return due to changes in the policies in their host countries, while Congolese IDPs had no choice but to leave following the forced closure of settlements. Syrian and Sudanese refugees and IDPs returned despite insecurity, inadequate basic services and limited livelihood opportunities.
Such returns are unlikely to be sustainable without critical investment to support reintegration, helping to promote development in countries deeply scarred by conflict. Investment is also required in countries of asylum to help refugees support themselves and their families, as well as contribute to their country of asylum, until the conditions in their country of origin are conducive to their return.
Most refugees hope to return. Investment is urgently needed.

About the UNHCR Global Trends and Mid-Year Trends reports
UNHCR releases two flagship statistical reports on global forced displacement each year, the Global Trends report and the Mid-Year Trends report. The Global Trends report, released annually in June, analyses changes and trends in forcibly displaced populations in the previous calendar year (from 1 January to 31 December). It provides key statistics on the global numbers of refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced people and stateless people, as well as their main host countries and countries of origin.
In October each year, the Mid-Year Trends report is released to provide updated figures and analysis for the initial six months of the current year (from 1 January to 30 June). These figures are preliminary, and the final data is included in the subsequent Global Trends report.
