The Syrian civil war, which began in 2011, has resulted in widespread displacement and destruction, particularly in cities like Aleppo. Over 14 million Syrians have been displaced, with 6 million seeking refuge outside the country, primarily in neighboring countries such as Turkey, which hosts over 3 million refugees. As European countries initially opened their doors, the influx of refugees led to political tensions and anti-immigrant sentiments, especially during the 2015 European migrant crisis. With the recent fall of Assad's government, questions arise about the return of refugees. However, premature repatriation could strain Syria's fragile infrastructure and hinder its recovery. Humanitarian aid remains crucial, but is complicated by the presence of terrorist-designated groups in Syria. The International Rescue Committee emphasizes the importance of supporting refugees' choices and ensuring aid reaches those in need to prevent further political instability.
