MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th March, 2019) Over 860 Syrian refugees have returned to their home country from Jordan and Lebanon over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for the Reception, Allocation and Accommodation of Refugees said on Saturday.
"Over the past day, 866 people returned to the Syrian Arab Republic from the territory of foreign states: 223 people, including 67 women and 113 children, left Lebanon [for Syria] via the Jaydet-Yabus and Talkalakh check points, and 643 people, including 193 women and 328 children, from Jordan via the Nasib check point," the center said in its daily bulletin.
The center added that as many as 93 internally displaced Syrians had returned to their places of permanent residence in the country over the given period.
According to the bulletin, the Syrian engineering units defused 41 explosive devices in the country over the past 25 hours.
As the Syrian government has regained control over most of the country's territories that were seized by terrorists, it is now focused on creating favorable conditions for repatriating refugees. Moscow is assisting Damascus in this process, along with providing humanitarian aid to civilians and being a guarantor of the ceasefire.
