Over 44,000 Syrians have voluntarily returned home, says Interior Minister

Jordan’s Interior Minister Mazen Al-Faraya announced on Monday that more than 44,000 Syrians have voluntarily returned to their country following the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime late last year.

In a post on X after a visit to the Jaber border crossing with Syria, Al-Faraya stated that Jordan has allocated 3.7 million dinars to upgrade the border terminal’s facilities and improve logistical services this year.
