Nearly 800 Syrians returned home from Jordan, Lebanon over past 24 hours: Russian Military
Moscow, Mar 11 (Sputnik) Almost 800 Syrian refugees have returned to their home country from Jordan and Lebanon over the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides and Refugee Migration Monitoring said on Monday.
"Over the past 24 hours, a total of 767 refugees have returned to the Syrian Arab Republic from foreign states: 93 people (including 28 women and 48 children) left Lebanon [for Syria] via the Jaydet-Yabus and Talkalakh checkpoints, while 674 people (including 202 women and 344 children) returned from Jordan via the Nassib checkpoint," the center said in its daily bulletin.
In addition, 92 internally displaced Syrians have returned to their places of residence in the Arab republic over the given period.
In the past 24 hours, Syrian engineering units have cleared 2.4 hectares (5.9 acres) of land from mines in the provinces of Quneitra and Damascus and destroyed 23 explosive devices, the center noted.
As the Syrian government has regained control over most of the country's territories that were seized by terrorists, it is now focused on creating favorable conditions for repatriating refugees.
Moscow is assisting Damascus in this process, along with providing humanitarian aid to civilians and being a guarantor of the ceasefire.
