Key ❔- Can the areas of origin provide security, stability, and services to support these returns?
🚶‍➡️After 13 years of conflict, the evolving political landscape in Northeast #Syria offers new opportunities for IDPs to return 🏠 but raises ⁉️ about conditions awaiting them. Up to 40,000 IDPs may return to their areas of origin within a year.
