A total of 52,000 Syrian refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) have returned to Syria from Jordan since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad on December 8, 2024, until March 29, 2025.
The UNHCR report indicated an increase in the number of returnees, with the average number of individuals returning daily at 372, compared to an average of 180 refugees per day in the previous week.
Since the opening of the Jaber crossing in 2018, the total number of Syrian refugees returning from Jordan to their homeland, according to the UNHCR, has reached about 106,943 individuals.
The report added that the demographic composition of returnees remained largely unchanged compared to previous weeks, with women and girls representing about 45% of the total returnees, children making up around 42%, and men (aged 18-40) comprising about 23% of the total returnees.
The UNHCR also noted that 372,550 Syrian refugees crossed the border back to Syria, returning from Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, and other countries since the fall of Assad until April 3 of this year.
The report stated that as of March 27, approximately 1.05 million internally displaced people had returned to their homes in Syria, while about 674,000 displaced people still remain within the country.
Jordan has hosted approximately 1.3 million Syrians since the start of the Syrian crisis in 2011, including around 600,000 registered refugees with the UNHCR.
On March 3, 2025, Interior Minister Mazen Al-Faraya announced that more than 44,000 Syrians had voluntarily returned to their country.
At the end of last month, Jordan decided to allow Syrian tourist groups to enter under the approved regulations, according to the Ministry of Interior spokesperson, Tarek Al-Majali.
Al-Majali announced the return of approvals for Syrian tourist groups to enter Jordan, under the same regulations and conditions that were in place before, with licensed travel agencies sponsoring them, and the visit duration limited to only one month.
