OVERVIEW
Since the peak of displacement in Al-Hasakeh Governorate on 29 January, where 146,511 displaced individuals were recorded, a gradual return movement has been observed. An estimated 47 per cent of those displaced have since returned to areas where security conditions have shown relative improvement. These returns have been supported by the absence of major clashes in the governorate, with the overall situation remaining relatively calm as of 11 March. Notably, the reopening of roads connecting Al-Hasakah Governorate with other governorates was reported. As a result, displaced families who had been residing in schools in the cities of Qamishli, Al-Hasakah, and Al-Qahtaniyah were supported by the Government to return to Afrin using private transport trucks, with additional convoys anticipated toward Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo and Afrin. Despite this, many residents remain cautious regarding traveling, with concerns compounded by continued tensions in Ras Al Ain. Humanitarian needs in North East Syria (NES) remain high, including multi-purpose cash assistance (94% of assessed locations), non-food items such as mattresses, blankets, and cooking utensils (70%), food assistance (62%), and health services (42%).
Since the ceasefire announced on 18 January in Aleppo Governorate, an estimated 79 per cent of displaced individuals have returned since the peak of displacement (9 January, 138,053 individuals). Humanitarian needs remain significant among those still displaced in Aleppo, including access to food (83%), non-food items (52%), multi-purpose cash assistance (48%), and health services (34%).
