UNHCR released an updated position on returns to Syria which calls on States to:
🚨 Not forcibly return anyone to Syria
🚨 Ensure people fleeing Syria have access to asylum
While recent events spark hope for peace and stability, the situation is fluid + far from stable.

"There is a remarkable opportunity for Syria to move toward peace and for its people to begin returning home.
But with the situation still uncertain, millions of refugees are carefully assessing how safe it is to do so.
Some are eager, while others are hesitant."
