Escalating hostilities in the region continue to impact cross-border movements from Lebanon into Syria. Between 2 March and 12 April, 277,000 individuals crossed into Syria through three official border crossings, according to Syrian authorities. This includes 234,000 Syrians, 67,300 of whom indicated an intention to return permanently, and 43,000 Lebanese nationals, most with family links in Syria. The Masnaa–Jdeidet Yabous border crossing accounted for around 60% of the total crossings from Lebanon, followed by Al Qaa–Joussieh (31%). Crossings through Arida remain limited to pedestrian traffic only due to a damaged bridge.
