According to UN refugee agency, UNHCR, 600,000 people could be on the move in the next six months, according to its latest survey.<\/p>\n<p>UNHCR spokesperson Celine Schmitt said on Friday that people will need \u201chousing, jobs, schools, hospitals, electricity and clean water\u201d \u2013 all of which are lacking after 14 years of civil conflict. She described meeting one mother living in a tent with her children having fled from the rubble of her former home, without access to water, or employment \u2013 with the nearest school two kilometers away.<\/p>\n<p>The mother said she was \u201cplanning to take her tent and to go back home and put the tent next to her house, just to be back home\u2026She was asking for small humanitarian help to be able to restart, to rebuild her life.\u201d Twenty-three districts in Syria could see their populations at least double, placing additional strain on already overstretched basic services and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The survey showed that 51 per cent of households intend to return to their areas of origin, with 93 per cent planning to go home within three to twelve months. The survey took place between 26 January and 23 February, surveying 4,800 households \u2013 more than 29,000 individuals \u2013 in 514 displacement sites across northwest Syria. As of January, more than 3.4 million IDPs were still in the northwest. The intention to return is particularly strong among IDPs in Idleb, where two in three households are opting to head home. Former frontline areas in the Idleb and Aleppo governorates are the primary intended destinations.<\/p>\n<p>UNHCR and partners are providing transport, legal assistance and support in repairing damaged homes as well as mattresses, blankets and winter clothing for the tough months ahead. \u201cNearly 14 years after the crisis began, Syria is at a crossroads, urgently needing support for rebuilding as years of conflict have devastated the economy and infrastructure, leaving 90 per cent of the population reliant on aid,\u201d said Ms. Schmitt. \u201cThere is now hope and a historic opportunity. UNHCR calls on the international community to make a firm commitment to support Syrians with essential aid for returnees and by investing in early recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2025\/03\/1160886\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><br \/>\nSource: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2025\/03\/1160886\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/syria-up-to-one-million-people-plan-to-return-home-in-desperation\/\">Syria: Up to one million people plan to return home in desperation<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555],"class_list":["post-138116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138116\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
