Around 561,746 displaced Syrians have returned to their homes in Idlib and Aleppo since Turkey and Russia agreed on a cease-fire on March 5, 2020, a local source told Anadolu Agency.
“The suspension of military operations by the regime and its allied militias following the cease-fire agreement has allowed civilians to return to their homes,” Muhammad Hallaj, director of Syria s Response Coordination Group, told Anadolu Agency.
Millions of civilians fled their homes in the two provinces in northern Syria as a result of the Syrian regime s indiscriminate bombing and took refuge in areas close to the Turkish border.
