Syria: Over 200,000 refugees have returned to the country after Assad regime fell

More than 200,000 have returned to after Bashar al-Assad fell in early December, the UN announced. Between 8 December 2024 and 16 January 2025, about 195.200 refugees had returned to Syria, according to the data published in H Filippo Grady. ADVERSION “Soon I will go to Syria – and neighbouring countries – as the High Commissioner for Refugees increases its support for returnees and host communities,” he wrote. Thousands of Syrians fled Lebanon due to Israeli bombings and returned to Syria before Bashar al-Assad left in front of the advance of the forces of Hayat Tahrir al-Sam organization. Since 2011, millions of Syrians have fled Syria ousted from the civil war and the economic and humanitarian crisis to find refuge in neighbouring or more distant countries.
