Syria situation of returnees from abroad

Country of origin information report

Väljaande metaandmed

Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, over 6.6 million people have fled the country of whom 5.6 million found refuge in countries near Syria. In addition, 6.7 million people are internally displaced inside Syria. In early April 2021, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) put the number of refugees from Syria at approximately 3.6 million in Turkey, 855 000 in Lebanon and 665 000 in Jordan. According to another estimate, of the millions who fled Syria since the start of the conflict a decade ago, 1.4 million people from Syria received international protection in the EU. During the report’s reference period, refugees from Syria continued to arrive in the EU. According to Eurostat, nearly 69 000 people from Syria applied for asylum in the EU in 2020. The aforementioned number pertains to asylum applications for the first time. Germany was by far the most popular EU Member State among refugees from Syria, receiving almost 41 000 asylum applications. The purpose of this report is to provide relevant information regarding the situation of returnees hailing from Syria within the framework of international protection status determination, including refugee status and subsidiary protection, and in particular for use in updating EASO’s country guidance development on Syria. The report is primarily focused on the return of Syrians from Europe and Syria’s neighbouring countries (Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan) to government-held Syria.
