The Syrian Arab Republic (hereafter referred to as Syria) continues to face complex and evolving mobility dynamics. Following the power shift in Damascus on 8 December 2024, the country’s humanitarian, political, demographic, and recovery landscape has undergone significant changes. While opportunities for return have emerged across Syria’s 14 governorates, population movements remain fluid and closely linked to developments in the security situation.
The baseline assessment is a key component of mobility tracking, providing data on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), IDP returnees within Syria, and arrivals from abroad, whether returning to their areas of origin or settling elsewhere. This report presents an overview of Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) mobility trends recorded in February 2026 alongside updated baseline figures, supporting evidence-based humanitarian response, early recovery planning, and sustainable reintegration efforts. Baseline mobility data should be read alongside Communities of Return Index findings to better understand barriers to durable solutions and long-term reintegration.
