Since December 2024, an estimated 1,811,355 Syrians have returned, with border crossings accounting for most movements. Of these, 723,000 refugees returned from Türkiye by August 2026. The Nutrition Cluster has issued a call to action to prevent malnutrition and expand integrated nutrition services through primary healthcare.

Chronic underfunding continues to threaten humanitarian operations globally, as armed conflicts intensify and financial uncertainty persists. The humanitarian funding for Syria remains well below requirements.

An estimated 5,542,227 internally displaced persons (IDPs) were reported in August 2025, with 773,397 IDPs residing in camps. Malnutrition remains a critical issue, particularly for children, necessitating timely treatment and expanded nutrition services.

The specific reasons for the increase in returns from Türkiye are not detailed in the provided reports, nor is the impact of water resource trends on Syria.
