Up to one million people displaced inside Syria since November 27
The UN’s refugee agency (UNHCR) says between 800,000 and one million people have been displaced inside Syria since the opposition forces launched their offensive to topple al-Assad.
This number includes 150,000 “experiencing secondary displacement”, it said. Women and girls comprise nearly half of the figure, it reported.
“The security situation in Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, Homs and Damascus remains dynamic. There are multiple overlapping population movements, including major internal displacement within Syria, some IDPs returning home, movements out of Syria, and relatively small numbers of refugee returns,” it said.
The agency noted that more than 13 million Syrians have fled their homes over the country’s 14-year war, while 90 percent of the people there require some form of humanitarian assistance.
