What does this dataset contain?

Annual and monthly snapshots for refugees, asylum, returns, and internal displacement related to Syria.

Transformation and methodology

These series cover populations registered or otherwise recorded within the categories included in UNHCR statistics; they are not a census of every displaced person. Data comes primarily from governments and UNHCR operations, and coverage varies by country and population category, so unregistered displacement is not fully counted.
