Afghan refugees remain the largest population in protracted displacement under UNHCR’s mandate. More than 2.6 million Afghans are living in exile around the world, but the vast majority is hosted in the two neighboring countries of the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan. While these two countries host 950,000 and 1.5 million registered Afghan refugees respectively, they are also impacted by the presence of an estimated 2 million unregistered Afghans. • The high-level segment on the Afghan refugee situation, held in Geneva this week, provided an opportunity for States, intergovernmental organizations, United Nations entities, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders to discuss challenges and solutions, make commitments in support of Afghanistan and the two main host countries, and agree on follow-up actions that will guide the period ahead. • The over-arching objective is to reinvigorate action and mobilize the international community to support durable solutions through protection, assistance and development-oriented efforts. • • Information for media: • If you would like to use this video to communicate refugee stories or require B-Roll, transcripts, stills or much more information, please contact us at [email protected] or [email protected]. • --- • Keep up to date with our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/unhcr?su... • -- • UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution.
