Statistics
Over 13.2 million Syrians had been forcibly displaced at the end of 2019.[1] At least 6.7 million of them have left the country, with the rest moving within Syria. An estimated 120,000 refugees are Palestinians who previously found asylum in Syria.[2]
The Eurostat/UN Expert Group on Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons Statistics (EGRIS) considers three distinct main categories of people of concern:[3]
- persons in need of international protection (e.g. asylum seekers, refugees, etc);
- persons with a refugee background (e.g. naturalized former refugees, children born of refugee parents, reunited family members, etc);
- persons returned from abroad after seeking international protections.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) curates a database of estimated number of Syrian refugees and asylum seekers per country.[4] These numbers are gathered from local governments, but do not include former refugees that have been resettled. The total number of refugees that a country has received may therefore be higher, if a country has accepted or rejected refugees. The data below is gathered from the UNHCR Refugee Data Finder, and supplemented with several additional sources.
Persons in need of international protection, over time, per receiving country
The graph below shows how many Syrian refugees and asylum seekers have been present outside Syria over time, as estimated by the UNHCR. Note that this does not include people from the moment they are resettled.

Includes prospective asylum seekers and people in refugee-like situations. Last updated mid-2020.[5] Countries below 100,000 Syrians have been grouped in 'Other countries'.
Total displacement of Syrians per country
An approach to include not just current refugees but also the former refugees that have resettled, is to consider the immigration per country. Depending on local census frequency and inclusion criteria[6], these numbers may be more or less approximate. The net immigration is the difference in citizens from Syria between 2011 and the time of data collection. As such it does not include people who returned to Syria.
