The number of returned IDPs also reached high peaks in 2015 and 2019 with over 6.5 and five million returnees respectively. During the period of consideration, the number of returned refugees peaked in 2002 at 2.4 million before falling after that and fluctuating during the 2010s. In 2022, over nearly 1.4 million refugees returned to their home countries.
