UNHCR
Internally displaced persons from Syria worldwide
The annual number of internally displaced people inside Syria recorded in UNHCR statistics, measured in people as a national year-end total. The series is not a complete count of unregistered displacement, and its method and reporting period differ from IOM DTM round estimates, so the two should not be added directly.
