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 data for the latest year (2024) is available up until the mid-year, except IDMC data on Internally Displaced People which is available until end-2023.

| Other people in need of international protection refers to people who are outside their country or territory of origin, typically because they have been forcibly displaced across international borders, who have not been reported under other categories (asylum-seekers, refugees, people in refugee-like situations) but who likely need international protection, including protection against forced return, as well as access to basic services on a temporary or longer-term basis. | 2019 - 2022 | - | - | OIP |

| This includes around 770,500 refugees and 27,800 UNHCR pre-registered new arrivals, reported as refugee-like. Based on information received from the Government in October 2020, the Islamic Republic of Iran hosts 800,000 refugees, of which 780,000 are Afghan Amayesh cardholders and 20,000 are Iraqi Hoviat cardholders. These cards effectively offer refugee status to their holders. UNHCR has been in continuous engagement with the authorities in relation to these figures ever since. In view of the absence of updated data, UNHCR sought to estimate the changes in the refugee population considering the natural growth and onward movements, estimating the total to be some 770,000 refugees (out of which 750,000 were Afghans and 20,000 Iraqis). | 2021 | - | Iran (Islamic Rep. of) | REF |

This resulted in a reduction in the start-year refugee population of 91,200 refugees. | 2020 | - | Italy | REF |
| The reduction of about 109,400 is due to improved estimates of Somali refugees in Yemen. Starting in September 2020, UNHCR has been working with the authorities and other actors to improve estimates of refugee and asylum-seeker statistics in Yemen. | 2020 | - | Yemen | REF |

| UNHCR’s global reporting standard for asylum statistics is for individual level data. To meet this standard, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) shared the 2021 asylum data expressed in terms of individuals. Previously, USCIS provided data based on asylum “cases” and average family household size, which UNHCR used to estimate the total number of individual asylum applications before USCIS. The shift in 2021 to USCIS reporting of individuals (not cases) allows for more precise reporting, as well as more consistency across the U.S. asylum data, since the U.S. Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has already been reporting individual-level asylum statistics to UNHCR. UNHCR notes that the increase in the reported number of asylum applications filed with USCIS in 2021 primarily reflects this change in reporting modality. | 2021 | - | United States of America | ASY |
