Hundreds of Syrian refugees gather at Turkish border for return home

Hundreds of Syrian refugees gathered at two border crossings in Turkey on Monday, eager to return home after the fall of President Bashar Assad’s government. Many camped out in the cold, waiting to cross into Syria. Turkish officials have set up checkpoints, allowing only those with proper documentation to proceed. The mood among refugees is celebratory, with many expressing joy at the prospect of returning to their homeland. In addition to those at the Turkish border, hundreds of displaced Syrians are also returning from Lebanon. Many refugees are hopeful about rebuilding their lives in Syria, despite uncertainties about the future.
