“In the past 24 hours 28 refugees (including: women – 8, children – 15) have returned to the Syrian Arab Republic from Lebanon through the checkpoints “Jeidet Yabus” and “Tell Kalakh”. No refugees were withdrawn from Jordan through the Nasib checkpoint”, – it said.
Eleven refugees returned within 24 hours to their places of permanent residence within the country.

The armed conflict in Syria has continued since 2011. At the end of 2017, the victory over the ISIS terrorist group in Syria and Iraq was announced. Militant cleansing continues in parts of the countries. The political settlement, reconstruction of Syria, as well as the return of refugees are now at the forefront.
