Countries: Syrian Arab Republic, Lebanon Source: International Organization for Migration Please refer to the attached file. 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. Since arrivals reached their peak recorded level on 27 April 2026 (153, 087 individuals), DTM estimates that around 30, 515 Syrian and Lebanese nationals have since returned to Lebanon, suggesting a gradual stabilisation in movement patterns along the border. From 2 March to 22 June, DTM recorded a total of 122, 572 arrivals across 1, 202 locations spanning all 14 governorates in Syria. Syrian nationals constituted the overwhelming majority of those observed, while Lebanese nationals represented less than 1 per cent of total arrivals during the reporting period. Cumulative flow monitoring at four assessed Syrian–Lebanese border crossings shows that, between 2 March and 22 June, 464, 562 movements into Syria had been recorded. Syrian nationals accounted for approximately 97 per cent of these movements, with Lebanese nationals comprising the remaining 3 per cent. In addition, 2, 694 Lebanese nationals were recorded transiting through Syria to Jordan, indicating continued onward movement beyond the immediate border corridor. The situation remains fluid, and DTM continues to monitor developments.
