"What we see on the ground is that if there are overwhelming numbers of people who go home now into what is an incredibly fragile situation, it will overwhelm the country and it could risk greater, more disruptive impact on a very fragile peace process."

A United Nations official warned on Friday that Syria is currently incapable of managing the large influx of returning refugees.
Speaking in Geneva shortly after returning from Syria, Amy Pope, director general of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said that the IOM does not encourage large-scale returns at the moment, as the country is not ready to absorb a large number of displaced people.
"What we see on the ground is that if there are overwhelming numbers of people who go home now into what is an incredibly fragile situation, it will overwhelm the country and it could risk greater, more disruptive impact on a very fragile peace process," said Pope.
Millions of Syrians fled to Türkiye, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon following the civil war that broke out in 2011. Recently, many displaced Syrians started to return after armed opposition forces seized control of the Syrian capital Damascus on Dec 8.
