The UN estimates that 16.7 million people across Syria need humanitarian assistance.
Since the fall of the former government on 8 December 2024 until the end of March 2025, some 372,000 Syrian refugees had returned to the country, while other refugees continue to express their intention to return home.
Over one million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have also returned to their places of origin since the end of November 2024.
Based on actual and projected returns, and triggered by calls on UNHCR from refugees to support them to return, UNHCR has moved into the facilitation voluntary returns to Syria.
This will be gradual and based on voluntary character of return and refugees’ well-informed and free choices.
UNHCR continues to provide protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, IDPs, returnees, stateless people, and host communities based on identified needs and vulnerabilities.
