Lebanon has initiated the second phase of its organized return program for displaced Syrians through the Masnaa border crossing.
The process was carried out in coordination with the Syrian government and in partnership with UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Lebanese Red Cross (LRC), and other humanitarian groups.
According to Lebanese authorities, 280 displaced Syrians left Masnaa after completing all required registration and verification procedures at Bar Elias Middle School, the official processing center for the program.
Meanwhile, Syrian state media SANA reported that 300 displaced Syrians arrived at the Jdeidet Yabous crossing in rural Damascus as part of the second batch of voluntary returns from Lebanon, organized under the UNHCR program.
Lebanon’s government emphasized that the program is part of its broader strategy to manage the safe and orderly return of displaced Syrians, while coordinating closely with international and regional partners to ensure humanitarian standards and security measures are met.
