4. Iran
Number of refugees: 980K
With a population of over 77.5 million people, Iran, the next one in our list of countries that have the most refugees is also home to nearly a million refugees. The country is located in Western Asia and shares a border with Armenia, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iraq.
Given the problems in nations such as Afghanistan and Iraq, it’s pretty easy to understand why there are so many refugees seeking a new home in Iran, a country that descends from one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
