Attachments

Context

Following the December 2024 developments in Syria, UNHCR has remained in close contact with Syrian refugee communities across the region, particularly in Jordan, Lebanon, Türkiye, Iraq and Egypt. The information provided in this document reflects the perceptions and concerns expressed by these communities regarding the evolving situation in Syria. These insights have been gathered through various channels, including information sessions, focus group discussions, UNHCR refugee helplines, outreach volunteers, protection partners, key informants, and other established communication mechanisms with refugee communities. They represent an initial snapshot of refugees’ voices since early December, noting these are dynamic and changing as the situation in Syria evolves. Regular quantitative intentions surveys will be conducted in the near future to track these changes and ensure operational planning and response is grounded on the priorities and concerns of refugees.
