Seventh and Eighth Convoys of Displaced Families Return to Ras al-Ain and Other Regions
Hundreds of displaced families returned to Ras al-Ain (Sere Kaniye) and Idlib-area hometowns under 'Syria Without Camps' initiative convoys, part of ongoing voluntary return efforts. Outlets report landmines and unexploded ordnance continue to slow returns and endanger returnees, including children.
In detail
SANA, North Press Agency, Enab Baladi and Levant24 reported the seventh convoy of 847 families (with 372 departing first) returning from Hasakah to Ras al-Ain, alongside a separate convoy of about 209 families leaving Idlib camps for Idlib, Hama, Homs, Damascus and Daraa. North Press Agency (EN) and ANHA highlighted landmines threatening returnees and children, including a school near Tal Tamr with over 200 students at risk. Idlib's social affairs director noted camp populations fell from 266,000 in 1,146 camps before December 8, 2024, to about 91,000 now. Public posts largely repost official/outlet accounts without much independent commentary.
