UNHCR: Syrian refugees return from Jordan
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that approximately 220,000 Syrian refugees have voluntarily returned from Jordan to Syria between December 2024 and August 2026. The pace of returns increased following the end of the school year and improvements in weather conditions, with about 45,000 refugees returning in 2026—an average of nearly 1,300 per week—with daily peaks ranging from 200 to 344 returnees. Syrian refugees constitute 92% of all registered refugees in Jordan, with 79.1% of them residing in urban areas. Additionally, the UNHCR provides extra support to the most vulnerable families, including financial assistance of up to $300 for disadvantaged households to help cover the costs of their return.
