United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) data shows that several countries serve as havens or host countries for refugees, including children.

Turkey recorded the highest number of child refugees in 2022, reaching 1.7 million children.

"To date, Turkey hosts the largest number of refugees. In 2022, one in ten refugees under UNHCR mandate lived in Turkey," UNICEF wrote on its official website.

UNICEF added that most of these refugees came from Syria. This makes Turkey the world's largest host country for child refugees.

Iran is second with 1.6 million children. Pakistan follows in third place with 894,000 child refugees.

Uganda and Colombia are fourth and fifth, respectively, with 862,000 and 747,000 children.

Germany and Sudan are sixth and seventh, with 671,000 and 528,000 children respectively.

UNICEF stated that refugees often find refuge near their countries of origin. "Worldwide, 70% of refugees seek asylum in neighboring countries," UNICEF said.
