UNHCR: Conditions Are Not Suitable for Large-Scale Voluntary Return to Syria
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated on Tuesday that it "does not currently encourage large-scale voluntary returns to Syria."
The UNHCR clarified that this stance is due to "the ongoing lack of necessary security and economic conditions," urging all concerned parties to create a conducive environment for the return of Syrian refugees.
The UNHCR noted that its surveys in countries hosting Syrian refugees have shown that most refugees face obstacles related to "safety and security, legal concerns, and lack of livelihoods" on their path back to Syria.
The UNHCR emphasized its commitment to addressing the concerns of returnees by providing services and assistance in their areas of origin.

A statement issued by the Turkish Directorate of Migration Management on April 4 mentioned that "the total number of Syrians who have been deported to their country or resettled in third countries, between 2016 and 2024, reached 65,927 Syrians from all Turkish provinces."
The UNHCR has documented the presence of more than five million Syrians in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt, and confirmed the return of over 411,000 Syrian refugees between 2016 and June of the past year.
