UNHCR data on the return movement of Syrians from neighboring countries

According to UNHCR data, Türkiye, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt were at the forefront of the countries from which returnees came, with the return movement continuing to be recorded through various border crossings.

The Commission explained that the return numbers do not depend on a single source, but are calculated based on the intersection of data monitoring transit movement at the border with information received from monitoring teams and field reports, with the aim of arriving at more accurate estimates of the numbers of Syrians who have returned to the country.

She pointed out that crossing through official border crossings constitutes the largest percentage of the total registered returnees, while UNHCR continues to monitor population movement and update its estimates according to field data and cross-border movement.

These numbers come in light of the continued return of numbers of Syrians residing in neighboring countries, in parallel with efforts to monitor the conditions of returnees and their needs, especially with regard to housing, basic services, and ways to secure stable conditions for return and reintegration in their areas of origin.
