Lebanon and Syria October 2025: A Snapshot
Ambassador Ryan Crocker reports on his visit to Lebanon and Syria on October 12-17 as part of a small delegation organized by the Washington office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The trip highlighted the magnitude of the refugee crisis in both countries, the level of human misery, and the impact of dramatically reduced funding to cope with this crisis, especially from the United States.
Lebanon absorbed more than a million Syrian refugees during the 2011-24 Syrian civil war, according to figures from UNHCR. Some 350,000 have now returned, but many of those may seek to go back to Lebanon given the dire circumstances they find at home.
