In numbers, and from Lebanon to Syria, the number of departures increased – Ambassador of the North

The Syrian newspaper Al-Watan reported a notable increase in the number of Syrians entering the country from Lebanon, and attributed it to the “exemption of the poor” from spending $ 100, in addition to a refugee conference recently organized by Damascus. .

The newspaper quoted a source in Jadidat Yabous, the border with Lebanon, that there is “a good movement for the return of Syrians, whether expatriates or refugees, to the country” and estimated the number of these between 400 and 500 Syrians per day. .

Sometimes the number sometimes reaches 700 Syrians.

The newspaper added, according to the source, that the “poor” Syrians are exempt from spending a hundred dollars in the Syrian pound, which the government had established as a condition for allowing Syrians to enter their country.

The newspaper said: “The increase in the number of returnees came after Damascus hosted an international conference for the return of refugees last month.”

Regarding those that the newspaper described as immigrants “illegally,” the source said: “They do not require any action. Rather, they are settled in any center of the border, which is a normal procedure and then they enter the country.”
