Data includes people in refugee-like situations. This is defined by the source as "groups of people who are outside their country or territory of origin and who face protection risks similar to those of refugees but for whom refugee status has, for practical or other reasons, not been ascertained."
In 2024, more than twelve million refugees were living in Europe and Turkey. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 forced millions to flee, a vast majority of these to European countries.
