Refugees

Refugees by the country they fled and by the country that hosts them.

Refugees are people who fled their country because of persecution, war or violence and are recognised as refugees under international law, including people in refugee-like situations. The first measure counts them by the country they come from; the second by the country that hosts them. Asylum seekers whose claims are pending and people displaced inside their own country are not counted. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) compiles the figures from governments and its own registration, and the World Bank republishes them.
