The report also noted that the total number of Syrians returning from Jordan since the opening of the Jaber (Nasib) border crossing in 2018 has exceeded 107,000 refugees. The demographic composition of the returnees remained similar to previous weeks, with women and girls accounting for about 45% of returnees, children around 42%, and men (aged 18-40) approximately 23%. On a broader scale, UNHCR reported that more than 372,550 Syrian refugees have returned to their country from neighboring countries, including Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt, since the political changes until early April.
