The UNHCR estimates that around 560,000 people have fled into Syria from neighboring Lebanon since late September. Some Lebanese residents who had fled to Syria are now choosing to return to Lebanon due to dire conditions in Syria. The UNHCR is concerned about these small numbers of people opting to return, as it indicates worrying signals. Lebanese authorities estimate that the number of people who have fled into Syria is even higher, at over 610,000. The UNHCR warns that without international support, more Lebanese may choose to return home to difficult circumstances in the coming weeks and months.
