UNHCR organizes first voluntary return convoy from camps in NE Syria

Description

The fall of the Assad government in December 2024 opened the prospect of a return home for more than 7 million Syrians who remain displaced inside the country following 14 years of conflict and crisis. An estimated 214,000 IDPs live in camps such as Areesha and informal sites throughout northeast Syria. While UNHCR has drawn up plans to help some 3.5 million Syrian refugees and IDPs projected to return home in 2025 – including nearly 1.5 million who have already done so – its efforts have been severely impacted by brutal cuts to global humanitarian funding.
