Movement into Lebanon

34,000 Estimated Lebanese refugees who crossed into Lebanon from Syria through the Jdaidet Yabous and Joussieh border crossing points since the ceasefire on 27 November, as of 4 December

Reverse population movements from Syria to Lebanon continued following the ceasefire announcement between Israel and Hezbollah on 27 November 2024, mainly through the Jdaidet Yabous (Rural Damascus) and Joussieh (Homs) border crossings. The Al Arida border crossing (Tartous) reopened on 2 December but with limited capacity due to a technical issue, with only Lebanese nationals are currently being processed to cross.
