Key Highlights
- As of 24 April 2025, UNHCR estimates that some 443,227 Syrians have crossed back to Syria via neighboring countries since 8 December 2024. This brings up the total of over 800,000 Syrian individuals that have crossed back into Syria since the beginning of 2024. This figure is calculated based on a triangulation of data from Syria, Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and beyond.
- As of 10 April, 1.05 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) have returned to their homes, including 188,121 returning from IDP sites since early December 2024, according to the latest data of the IDP Task Force.
- UNHCR continues to provide life-saving assistance to those refugees returning to Syria from neighbouring countries, as well as to IDPs, IDP returnees and the host communities inside the country and beyond.
- On 23 April, UNHCR supported a group of some 178 IDPs departing Areesha Camp, also known as al-Sadd Camp, in the southern countryside of Al-Hasaka, returning to their original homes in Deir ez-Zor and its surrounding countryside. This is the second voluntary return convoy conducted under UNHCR’s auspices as part of broader efforts to enable forcibly displaced people to go back home in a dignified and safe manner.
