of refugees and internally displaced Syrians have begun returning to their areas of origin. Many more plan to
return and will require vital support as they reintegrate.

1964 and is uniquely positioned to support Syrian communities in their recovery through its expansive reach and
scale. WFP’s interventions prioritize emergency relief and resilience-building efforts focused on the most
severely food insecure populations. Additionally, WFP is a key actor in the country’s social protection sector also
