Jordan: 97,000 Syrian refugees have returned since January

Jordanian Interior Minister Mazen Faraya said that 97,000 Syrian refugees have voluntarily returned from Jordan to their country since the beginning of this year.

Faraya added, in statements he made on Saturday, as reported by Al Mamlaka TV, that the Jaber border crossing witnessed the largest number of passengers and cargo since its opening before Eid al-Adha.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) had previously confirmed that more than 100,000 Syrian refugees had voluntarily returned from Jordan to their country between December 8, 2024, and June 30, 2025.

The UNHCR expects the rate of Syrian refugee returns to increase after the end of the high school exam period in Jordan.
