Скачать или смотреть Syria Sees Large-scale Influx of Returning Citizens

Syria has seen a large-scale influx of returning citizens following the liberation of three southwest governorates.

With the full liberation of Deraa, Damascus and Homs, the Syrian government has shifted its focus to facilitate the returning of its people, setting up reception zones by its ports and preparing temporary settlements to welcome them.

The government's forces regained control of Derra's eastern regions in July, securing its port to Jordan, a necessary entry point from Jordan, as well as from Turkey and other countries in the same direction.

The returnees will receive supplies and medical aid at the port while the government has also came up with policies encouraging those still overseas.

The governorate of Damascus, bordering with Lebanon, has taken in the most of the returnees and the city of Damascus has established a long-term refugee aid station to help out.

"I decided to return first because life away from the homeland is very tough, and I decided to return at this time because security and safety have almost returned to the entire Syrian geography thanks to the Syrian Arab Army. I hope the crisis will end soon," said one returnee.

To the north of Damascus, Homs is also working on settling them. The government troops liberated the region in May, and the rebuild work began in May with the help from Russia. The Russian are seen regularly distributing supplies and offering medical aid. While traces of war are still clear on house ruins and damaged infrastructure, the area's residents are positive about the future.

"I hope there will be good in the future, that life will be better and that there will be hope, instead of the life we have experienced in the past. Thank God everything is available to us, such as bread and aid, and safety is the most important thing," said a returnee mother.

According to official Syrian statistics, more than 3.5 million Syrians have returned and are working to begin a new life along with the government's reconstruction efforts.
