Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1996–2025. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 28 of the 30 years between 1996 and 2025 for Tonga. The missing 2 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
