In the Syrian Arab Republic, a significant number of people have returned to their areas of origin. These returns are happening during a time of great need and limited access to basic services. Many of those returning are facing economic hardship and protection risks.

Localized conflict and the movement of people are putting additional pressure on services. Children are being severely affected by explosive ordnance, with many reported casualties. Further information on the humanitarian situation is available from UNICEF's reports, which provide more details on the situation and the organization's response.
