Iran becomes the second largest refugee hosting country as forced displacement hits new record high globally
14 June 2023

TEHRAN: UNHCR’s flagship annual report, Global Trends in Forced Displacement, found that by the end of 2022, the number of people displaced by war, persecution, violence, and human rights abuses stood at a record 108.4 million, up by 19.1 million from the year before, which was the biggest ever increase.

The full-scale war in Ukraine, alongside conflict elsewhere and climate-driven upheaval meant, globally, more people than ever remained uprooted from their homes last year, heightening the urgency for immediate, collective action to alleviate the causes and impact of displacement, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, said today.

Estimates for the number of refugees from Afghanistan were sharply higher by the end of 2022 due to revised estimates of Afghans hosted in the Islamic Republic of Iran following a headcount exercise conducted by the Government. With over 3.4 million refugee and refugee-like populations, Iran became the second largest refugee hosting country globally after Türkiye. Additionally, Iran hosts over 1.1 million Afghans of varying status including, 360,000 Afghans with Iranian resident permits, 267,000 family passport holders and 500,000 undocumented Afghans.

“These figures show us that some people are far too quick to rush to conflict, and way too slow to find solutions. The consequence is devastation, displacement, and anguish for each of the millions of people forcibly uprooted from their homes,” UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said.

The figures also confirmed that, whether measured by economic means or population ratios, it remains the world’s low- and middle-income countries, like Iran, that host the most displaced people. The 46 least developed countries account for less than 1.3 per cent of global gross domestic product, yet they hosted more than 20 per cent of all refugees.
