Key takeaway Cross-border population movements from Lebanon into the Syrian Arab Republic (hereafter referred to as Syria) have continued to decrease following the ceasefire declared on 17 April 2026.
Why this matters
The decrease in cross-border population movements from Lebanon into Syria following the ceasefire declared on 17 April 2026 suggests a potential shift towards stability in the region. With around 30,515 individuals returning to Lebanon, the movement patterns along the border are gradually stabilizing. The overwhelming majority of arrivals in Syria, approximately 97 per cent, are Syrian nationals, indicating a significant influx of people returning to their home country. The fact that 2,694 Lebanese nationals were recorded transiting through Syria to Jordan highlights the complexity of population movements in the region, with many individuals seeking to move beyond the immediate border area. As the situation remains fluid, continued monitoring by organizations such as DTM will be crucial in tracking developments and understanding the evolving needs of affected populations, allowing faith-based organizations and other humanitarian groups to provide targeted relief and support.
