MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2019) Over 1,000 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 Friday.
"Over the past 24 hours, a total of 1,088 refugees have returned to the Syrian Arab Republic from foreign states: 396 people (including 118 women and 202 children) from Lebanon via the Jaydet-Yabus and Talkalakh checkpoints, while 692 people (including 208 women and 353 children) returned from Jordan via the Nassib checkpoint," the ministry said in its daily bulletin.
Syrian engineering units have, meanwhile, cleared of mines 3.2 hectares (7.9 acres) of land in the provinces of Daraa and Damascus. A total of 57 explosive devices have been destroyed over the past 24 hours, the center added.
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.
