REGISTERED 18 OCTOBER 2026 BY UNIT CL2-E (second closing pass, D-314, D-315). STATUS.md section 3.5 (WINDOW). PANEL, VERBATIM: 'Internally displaced people* 5,542,227', 'Returnees from countries of asylum** 1,795,641', 'IDP returnees*** 2,009,506', '*Source: OCHA, August 2025', '**Source: UNHCR, since December 2024. This is calculated by triangulating multiple data sources, including population-movement reporting and border-monitoring data.', '***Source: OCHA and UNHCR, from December 2024 to August 2026'. TEXT: 'While around 1.8 million refugees and over 2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have returned since December 2024, 15.6 million people still require humanitarian assistance.' The 15.6 million carries no source marker, as in the May update (CH1 l.233). The May update's qualification ('Returns are taking place in the presence of ongoing structural vulnerabilities, rather than as a result of improved conditions.') does not recur here; CH1 l.227 keeps it attributed to May (SRC-024). NOT USED: the 15 October 2026 dashboards (124507: 1,831,587 refugee returnees; 124506: 2,061,792 IDP returnees), a different product. MAY NOT SUPPORT: the internally displaced figure as UNHCR's own current count (it is OCHA's of August 2025, carried forward).
19 October 2026 (D-315 closing pass, works cited v30): the same document as SRC-858 (UNHCR document 124284, registered by two units of the closing pass). WORKS_CITED: merged into SRC-858
