Honduras

Key statistics

552,565

people were displaced or stateless (or returning from forced displacement) within the country at the end of 2024

247,090

people were identified as internally displaced in the country at the end of 2024

$30.7 million

are needed in 2025 to ensure that operations and programmes in Honduras are sustained

Honduras set an example in preventing and responding to internal displacement with the ground-breaking Law for the Prevention, Care, and Protection of internally displaced persons, which came into effect in April 2023.
 
UNHCR offers technical support for implementing the law and pursues preventive, protective, humanitarian, and solutions-based actions for forced displacement. The country experiences a growing number of individuals in mixed movements entering, transiting, and leaving its territory, including asylum seekers, refugees, and returnees, some of whom require international protection.
