3. Lebanon
Number of refugees: 1.1 million
We are continuing our list of countries that have the most refugees with Lebanon which may only have some 4.4 million citizens of its own, but it hosts over 1.1 million refugees, or at least that was the number at the end of 2015. That’s a massive number considering how small the country is. Even so, the number has dwindled at the end of 2015 by some 83,000 people compared to the previous year, mostly due to verification and de-registration exercises carried out by the local authorities.
