According to the 2005 government census of Afghans in Pakistan and subsequent voluntary repatriation during the year, thereare an additional 1.5 million Afghans living outside camps, some of whom may be refugees. Those Afghans living outside camps receive no UNHCR assistance except access to UNHCR-facilitated voluntary repatriation.4 With the introduction of the new Immigration Act in 2005, the Central Aliens Register now encompasses new residence categories and simultaneously refines previous ones, allowing for a better differentiation of refugeestatistics. The refugee data included in this table refers to 15 December 2005. 5 UNHCR’s method of estimating the refugee population in the United States is currently under review due to newly available information. As aresult, the estimated refugee population in the country might increase significantly as of 2006.
