When present in these statistics, UNHCR applies two different sources: IDMC’s IDP statistics collate the total forcibly displaced while those IDPs protected/assisted by UNHCR are included in the total population that UNHCR is mandated to protect and/or assist. The two sources of IDP data vary significantly in certain countries. Globally, IDMC reports 62.5 million IDPs while UNHCR reports 57.3 million conflict-affected IDPs at end-2022. In total, UNHCR reports 4.4 million stateless people. About 1.3 million stateless people worldwide are also displaced. Most of them are Rohingya, either internally displaced in Myanmar or refugees, mostly in neighbouring countries. These 1.3 million are only counted as forcibly displaced when calculating the total population that UNHCR protects and/or assists to avoid double counting.
