1.2 million Syrians have returned to their homes since December, says UN official

The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria, Adam Abdelmoula, has declared that since December, 1.2 million Syrians have returned to their homes, including 885,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 302,000 refugees.

Much more is needed, and Mr. Abdelmoula underscored the urgent need for investments in recovery and reintegration efforts.

Earlier this week, Adam Abdelmoula, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria, attended a pivotal a donor conference in Brussels organized by the European Union. At the gathering, he urged the international community to take swift action in supporting Syria’s stabilization and recovery. The key priorities outlined include increased investment in aid, comprehensive recovery efforts, sanctions relief, and expanded access to global markets.

Upon his return to Damascus, he addressed the press today, stressing the need for immediate action to ensure the country’s prosperity and long-term peace, according to the United Nations Website
