Syrian Return Pace Slows After Initial Wave

The article explains the decline in the rate of Syrians returning from host countries, especially after the initial phase which saw approximately 1.8 million voluntary returns since December 2024, following the fall of the previous regime in Syria. Measures have been implemented to facilitate returns in Jordan and Turkey, including extending crossing hours at Jaber-Nassib border and providing financial assistance to enable returnees. Despite continued significant movement, seasonal factors, security, and service conditions in Syria influence the decision to return, with a notable decrease after the beginning of 2026. Currently, around 9 million Syrians remain outside the country. Conditions of stability and access to services are among the main factors affecting the ongoing return of refugees, with the current phase characterized by gradual and uneven progress.
