The UNHCR Refugee Data app showcases forced displacement and statelessness statistics over the last 24 years by country of asylum and origin.
People that UNHCR protects and/or assists include those who have been forcibly displaced (refugees, asylum-seekers, other people in need of international protection and internally displaced people); those who are stateless (most of whom are not forcibly displaced); and other groups of concern to whom UNHCR has extended its protection or provided assistance on a humanitarian basis. Refugee and IDP returnees are included in the solutions datasets.

| The 2.0 million refugees include around 1,371,400 registered refugees and around 143,900 unregistered members of registered families who were recorded through the documentation renewal and information verification exercise (DRIVE) and are being verified at the time of reporting. It also includes an estimated 472,900 Afghans who sought asylum in Pakistan, following transition in Afghanistan in August 2021. In total, some 600,000 Afghans have arrived in Pakistan since then, according to the Government estimates. | 2023 | Afghanistan | Pakistan | REF |
| The others of concern figure corresponds to the number of conflict-affected, non-displaced people assisted by UNHCR during the year. | 2024 | Ukraine | - | OOC |
| A limited number of countries record refugee and asylum statistics by country of birth rather than country of origin. This affects the number of refugees reported as originating from the United States of America. | 2023 - 2024 | United States of America | - | REF |
| Temporary protection granted to Ukrainians does not necessarily mean new displacement since it could include reapplications or reactivations from the refugees who were already granted refugee status following temporary visits to Ukraine as well as duplicated registrations across countries. Furthermore, Ukrainians that have been granted temporary protection may also have lodged individual asylum applications. See Ukraine Refugee Situation: Population movements, Factsheet #2, UNHCR (https://data.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/114591). | 2024 | Ukraine | - | REF,ASY,IDP,STA,OOC,HST,OIP |
| From the Islamic Republic of Iran, almost a quarter of a million Afghans were estimated to have returned to their country in 2024. Refugee returns are expected to increase in 2025, following the announcement by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in February 2025 that headcount slips will not be extended beyond 20 March 2025. See https://data.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/115667. | 2024 | - | Iran (Islamic Rep. of) | REF |
| Since February 2022, a number of Ukrainians have reached countries beyond Europe, where they are staying under various legal statuses. See UNHCR’s Ukraine Situation Operational Data Portal for up-to date statistics of refugees from Ukraine recorded in Europe and beyond. | 2024 | Ukraine | - | REF |

| Stateless refugees from Myanmar of Rohingya ethnicity in Iran have been resettled in 2023. No estimates of the entire stateless population in the Islamic Rep. of Iran is available. | 2023 | - | Iran (Islamic Rep. of) | STA |
| In Pakistan, the verification of the number of new arrivals from Afghanistan concluded in 2024. Due to the inactivation of substantive numbers of absentees, this resulted in an overall reduction of 190,200 Afghans reported in the country and an increase of 108,300 Afghans being registered as asylum-seekers. At the same time, 143,900 formerly unregistered family members of registered refugees, that were previously reported as people in a refugee-like situation, are now included as refugees, in line with the upcoming 2025-2027 multi-year strategy for Afghans. | 2024 | - | Pakistan | REF,ASY,IDP,STA,OOC,HST,OIP |
