   Its statistic page, and every profile it measures

   /statistics/idps-of-concern

Read from the UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database through UNHCR's own API. Only UNHCR's own figures are used: the separate figures of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, which UNHCR also serves, are not. UNHCR records a zero for every country where it counts no internally displaced people; those zeros are left out rather than printed as none. UNHCR rounds figures below five to the nearest multiple of five.
