IraqSyrian families return from Lebanon through Yabous crossing
A new convoy of 19 Syrian families, refugees in Lebanon, has returned to their homeland through the new Yabous crossing as part of a voluntary return program supported by the UNHCR.
Background
Syria's civil war, which began in 2011, led to millions of Syrians seeking refuge in neighboring countries, including Lebanon. As parts of Syria stabilize, voluntary return programs are facilitating the return of some refugees, a process involving both Syrian and Lebanese authorities and international organizations like UNHCR.
