Refugees by Country 2024

  • Data in Table 1 indicate refugees by Country of Origin. Values are mid-year 2023 tallies for all indicators except IDPs, which are 2022 end-of-year totals. All refugee counts are best-possible estimates, but may not be backed by official census data.
  • Refugees Originated is an umbrella category that includes international refugees and people living in refugee-like conditions, IDPs, asylum seekers, and all other UN categories of displaced people, commonly referred to as "refugees".
  • Data for Serbia include Kosovo.
  • Palestine total combines 119,583 individuals served by UNHCR and 5,936,247 served by UNRWA.
  • Venezuela totals include 5,322,120 individuals classified as "Other people in need of international protection", a category unique to Venezuela, which refers to Venezuelans living abroad in refugee-like conditions but who have not been reported under other categories (asylum-seekers, refugees).
  • In addition to per-country totals, UNHCR data include another 596,708 individuals whose nationality is unknown, as well as 4,391,680 "stateless" individuals, who live in refugee-like conditions but are not legally considered nationals of any country.
