High Commissioner for Refugees: A million displaced people in northwestern Syria are planning to return to their homes – the seventh day

A new survey conducted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and its partners showed that up to one million internal displaced people live in the camps and displacement sites in northwestern Syria, intending to return to their original areas during the next year, of whom 600,000 are in the next six months.

The UN Commission, January, confirmed that more than 3.4 million internal displaced people live in northwestern Syria, including 1.95 million in 1500 camps and another displacement location in Idlib and Aleppo governorates, according to the Commission.

For her part, UNHCR spokeswoman Celine Schmidt said that the intentions of return “are” especially strong among the displaced internally in Idlib, where two out of every three families surveyed expressed their desire to return to their homes “, and said that the previous front lines in the Idlib and Aleppo governorates are the basic destinations intended to return, especially the areas of Ma`rat al -Numan and Jabal Samaan.

She added: “If these return movements take place, the population may rise in the areas of Ma`rat al -Numan and Kafr Nubl from three thousand to 130 thousand individuals. In general, 23 areas may witness at least the population of its population, which puts additional pressure on the exhausted services and infrastructure.”

The UNHCR spokeswoman said that Syria needs urgent support for rebuilding after the years of conflict destroyed the economy and infrastructure, which made 90 percent of the population depend on aid.

She called on the international community to adhere to the support of the Syrians by supporting humanitarian actors and investing in early recovery.
