Commission: 32,000 Syrian refugees back from Jordan
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees announced that approximately 32,000 Syrian refugees have voluntarily returned from Jordan to Syria since the beginning of 2026, with expectations that the number will reach around 75,000 by the end of the year, although the actual figure may be slightly lower. The majority of returnees attribute their decision to improved weather conditions and the end of the school year, which has led to an increased momentum of returns in recent months. The commission also noted that a funding shortage of $280 million for 2026 is impacting the services provided, especially since more than two-thirds of the refugees live below the poverty line and are burdened with accumulated debts. The main reason for delaying their return is the lack of suitable housing in Syria.
