UN report shows refugee return slowdown
UN reports have shown that the rate of Syrian refugee returns to their homeland decreased by approximately 50% during the second quarter of 2026, with 131,000 returnees compared to 268,000 in the previous quarter. Despite this slowdown, the total number of returnees since December 2024 has reached about 1.7 million, most of whom are from Lebanon and Turkey. The decline in returns is linked to difficult living conditions, including high unemployment, a reduction in humanitarian aid, increased psychological stress, as well as the dangers posed by landmines and administrative challenges that hinder the stability of returning refugees.
