Most of them left the country due to instability and brutal repression, and now they are returning to their homeland, hoping for a new beginning in the changing situation.
At the same time, last year brought another wave of returns, as hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees who were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in Lebanon also decided to return home. This happened amid the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah militants, supported by Iran. The fighting between these forces has greatly complicated the situation in the region, leading to the fact that many people who left Syria due to such conflicts felt even more in danger and decided to return to their country.
According to official UN data, at the height of the conflict, more than 5.5 million people fled Syria, most of whom settled in neighboring countries, including Turkey. It was this country that accepted the largest number of Syrian refugees – about 3.3 million people. In addition, a significant number of refugees were forced to seek refuge in the countries of the European Union, in particular in Germany, where more than 850,000 Syrians currently live.
