About 18.000 Syrians have left Jordan to return to their country since the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on December 8, Jordanian authorities said today.
"About 18.000 Syrians have returned to their country since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024 until today," Jordanian Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraja told state-run Al Mamlaka television.
Among them, 2.300 refugees are registered in the UN, he added.
Jordan, which shares a 375-kilometer border with its neighbor, has taken in about 680.000 Syrian refugees registered with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
However, Jordanian authorities said they have taken in about 1,3 million displaced people since the start of the war in Syria in 2011.
