Global refugee numbers decline for first time in a decade
The number of refugees and displaced persons worldwide decreased to 117.8 million in 2025, after approximately 14.7 million of them returned to their homes, marking the highest figure since 1965. The main returnees include those going back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, and Afghanistan, despite ongoing security and infrastructure challenges. Conflicts in the Middle East, especially the wars in Iran and Lebanon, continue to increase the number of displaced people. Meanwhile, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees is working to reduce the number of long-term displaced persons by supporting employment opportunities, education, and encouraging voluntary returns.
