UN expects one million Syrian refugees to return home by mid-2025, but urges caution on safety.

The United Nations expects about one million Syrian refugees to return to their country by mid-2025 following the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. UN refugee agency UNHCR's director for the Middle East and North Africa, Rema Jamous Imseis, calls on countries to refrain from forcing refugees to return, emphasizing that it's too early to assess the safety of returning to Syria. Over one million people have been newly displaced within Syria in recent weeks, mostly women and children.
