A new batch of displaced Syrians arrives from Lebanon via al-Zamrani crossing

A new batch of displaced Syrians returning from Lebanon arrived on Tuesday via al-Zamrani crossing in Damascus countryside.

 Around 330 people had registered to be part of the "voluntary return", Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) said.

Syrian state news agency SANA reported an unspecified number of people arrived from Lebanon as part of the initiative.

Lebanon, which has been mired in a crushing economic crisis since late 2019, says it hosts around two million Syrians, the world's highest number of refugees per capita, with almost 785,000 registered with the United Nations.
