17,948 people arrive in NE Syria region from Lebanon

According to an announcement today by the crisis cell responsible for affairs of those arriving from Lebanon, nearly 18,000 people, including Syrians and Lebanese nationals, have reached NE Syria so far.

The crisis cell reported that among the arrivals are 6,277 men, 5,678 women, and 5,936 children, including 46 Lebanese nationals and 11 bodies.

The arrivals either head to their homes or to relatives in NE Syria. For those without a place to go, the Autonomous Administration has designated shelters.

The representative office of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria in Lebanon, along with the Nowruz Cultural and Social Association, continuously facilitates the return of Syrians wishing to return from Lebanon to the region.

The Autonomous Administration's representative office in Lebanon has taken on the responsibility of repatriating Syrians who wish to return. A committee was formed on September 24 to follow up on the affairs of Syrian refugees.

The military escalation between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah has driven tens of thousands of Syrians, who were working in Lebanon or headed there at the onset of the Syrian crisis, to return to their homeland, as the escalation has resulted in the deaths of dozens of Syrians.
