future of
Syrian refugees is in their own country, not in host countries.

leave their country as the crisis continues. He stated that Jordan does not
have the capacity or necessary resources to host and care for more refugees.

Syrian refugees since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, including
approximately 655,000 Syrian refugees registered with UNHCR, as of September 3,
2023.
The UN’s stance

UN Resident Coordinator in Jordan,
Sheri Ritzema-Anderson, stated in July to that the situation does not allow for
the voluntary return of refugees to Syria in the near future, and the necessary
conditions are not in place.
Ritzema-Anderson explained that the UN is
working with relevant parties to enhance solutions for the Syrian crisis in
accordance with UN resolutions.
A survey conducted by the UN and published
in June showed that 1.1 percent of Syrian refugees in four
Arab countries want
to return to their homeland within a year.

Syrian refugees in Jordan participating in the study do not intend to return to
their country in the next 12 months, compared to 2.4 percent who have not yet
