[size=52]Poll.. The majority of Syrians in Iraq and Arab countries do not want to return to their country[/size]

[size=45]On Thursday, UN reports said that the vast majority of Syrian refugees in Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan do not intend to return to their country in the near future, while indicating that the percentage of those refusing to return has increased since 2017.[/size]
[size=45]Most Syrian refugees, in the Middle East, plan to return to Syria in the near future, according to a recent report by the United Nations refugee agency.[/size]
[size=45]Poll[/size]
[size=45]According to a report by the American “Al-Monitor” website, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees polled the views of Syrians living in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, as a result, “92.8% of them do not intend to return to Syria within the next 12 months, compared to 1.7% who said they intend to return and 5 Among those who do not plan to return home, 6% said they are unsure, 77% said they would stay in their current country, and 16% said they would go to a new country.[/size]
[size=45]The US report sheds light on the details of the challenges Syrian refugees face in their countries of origin. In Iraq and Egypt, housing was the most suffering factor for refugees, and in Jordan and Egypt, food prices are on the rise across the Middle East, in part because to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[/size]
[size=45]A majority of 57% of those surveyed said they eventually plan to return home to Syria, due to reasons of “family reunification, pressure in the host country, and loss of home.”[/size]
[size=45]The report added, "There are a variety of pressures on Syrian refugees to return to their homes, for example, Lebanese President Michel Aoun called for the return of Syrian refugees in Lebanon."[/size]
[size=45]The number of Syrians not planning to return soon has increased since UNHCR began conducting these surveys in 2017, when 78% said they do not plan to return soon, and “the numbers are similar in each of the four countries.”[/size]

[size=45]Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have regained control of most of the country, but fighting continues between the opposition and government forces in the northwest, and Turkey is threatening to invade the northeast again.[/size]
[size=45]According to Al-Monitor, there are safety concerns in government areas as well, as 11 soldiers and two civilians were killed in an attack on a bus in central Syria on June 20, and “many Syrian men do not want to return because they will be subject to mandatory military conscription.” According to them.[/size]
[size=45]The Syrian economy is also suffering at the moment, as the wheat crisis caused by the Ukraine war has ravaged Syria, inflation is also high and the war has severely damaged infrastructure, among other effects, according to a report issued by the World Bank in June.[/size]
[size=45]According to several observers, they told Al-Monitor, “US sanctions on Syria are harming civilians.”[/size]
[size=45]The UNHCR survey did not include Turkey, where more than three million Syrian refugees live, and UNHCR spokesmen did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter, according to the US report.[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted a United Nations official earlier this month as saying that “about 800 Syrian refugees leave Turkey every week, but most of the Syrians in the country plan to stay due to the favorable economic conditions, despite the economic crisis in Turkey.[/size]
