UNHCR total of refugees, asylum seekers, displaced people and returnees hosted in Chad; end-May 2026.
UNHCR reported that Chad hosted about 2.25 million forcibly displaced people at the end of May 2026. The total covers refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people and returnees, while the available component figures do not fully reconcile to the headline total. A separate UNHCR-based statement ranked Chad first in Africa for refugee hosting per person. That ranking is retained as supporting context and does not imply a global rank.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forcibly displaced people hosted | ≈2.25M | end-May 2026 |
| 2 | Per-capita hosting rank in Africa | #1 | 2025–2026 |

Evidence: Supports the published forcibly displaced population hosted values and period labels for Chad.
The hosted total covers several displacement categories whose available components do not fully reconcile. The #1 rank applies only to the cited UNHCR-based per-capita comparison among African states.
Use the UNHCR hosted-population total as the focal value. Retain the cited Africa per-capita hosting rank as a separate supporting statement and do not infer a global rank.
Both the hosted total and the Africa per-capita rank are attributed to the cited UNHCR source family, with their distinct reference periods preserved.
