- What is measured, and its limits
- Dashboard estimates to 15 October 2026. The refugee figure is 'calculated by triangulating multiple data sources' and includes 'registered and unregistered Syrians, as well as individuals in transit'; both carry 'subject to future adjustment'. Neither is a count at a crossing. READ AFTER THE CLOSING DATE (18 October 2026), so the prose dates its reading.
- Conflicting evidence
- Continues RETURNS-001 (the August update) on the same series; do not add the two rows or set them against FEWS NET or the May figures as a series.
