How many refugees are there in the UK?

According to UNHCR statistics, as of mid-2021 there were 135,912 refugees, 83,489 pending asylum cases and 3,968  stateless persons  in the UK. The vast majority of refugees – 4 out of 5 – stay in their region of displacement, and consequently are hosted by developing countries. Turkey now hosts the highest number of refugees with 3.7 million, followed by Colombia with 1.7 million.

The UK Home Secretary Priti Patel has come under fire this week for setting up a “chaotic” scheme for Ukrainians fleeing war to find safety in the UK. On March 7, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that 300 visas for refugees had been issued, up from just 50 at the weekend — but that’s out of a total of over 5,000 applications so far.
