Pakistan host to largest population of refugees: UN report

Pakistan is host to the largest refugee population of 1.9 million, Iran is host to 1.1 million and Syria to one million. Afghans make up the largest number of refugees at 3 million, followed by Iraqis (1.6 million), Somalis (770,200), along with people from the Democratic Republic of Congo (476,000) and Myanmar (415,700).
