The International Organization for Migration said on Wednesday that the largest challenge facing Syrians returning to their areas is the lack of job opportunities and basic services.
She emphasized that this matter shows the urgent need for international support to help the country recover.
The organization reached this summary in the report of the return societies index, which conducted an evaluation of circumstances in 1100 Syrian neighborhoods between March and April last.
The director of the International Migration Organization, Emmy Bob, said that the Syrians “enjoy flexibility and innovation, but they need great help to rebuild their societies and their lives.”
She considered that enabling the Syrians to return to a country that goes on the path of stability and progress is “very important to the future of the country.”
It also indicated that the International Organization for Migration has activated its capabilities to collect data in Syria.
She emphasized that the report represents “our latest contributions to directing humanitarian efforts and the efforts of recovery and other evidence -based efforts to draw a better future for Syria and its people.”
The number of displaced people decreased
According to the latest report to track the displacement by the International Organization for Migration, the number of internally displaced people in Syria decreased slightly in April 2025 to about 6.6 million, compared to more than 6.7 million in March before it.
Since January 2024, the International Organization for Migration has registered the return of more than 1.3 million internal displaced persons and about 730 thousand expatriates from abroad.
The International Organization for Migration announced that it aims to meet the humanitarian needs “immediate and recovery needs while strengthening a favorable environment for peaceful, voluntary and sustainable return operations.”
The services provided by the organization include returning Syrians rehabilitating housing and distributing life -saving relief materials, as well as expanding the database of ownership records to support safe documentation, restore rights and settle disputes for the displaced population in Syria.
