Ne: The figures for resettlement from Hong Kong are based on Hong Kong
Government statistics since a detailed breakdown by UNHCR is not yet available. The UNHCR's cumulative total for January to September is slightly higher (13,229) and gives Hong Kong 15.7% of resettlement places for boat refugees made available during this period.
