Conflict and development 'Bombs are still falling': Syrian refugees at risk of forced return home Report warns hundreds of thousands of people may be pressured to go back to Syria despite daily threat of shelling in many places In Aleppo, Syrian children cross a street in front of a banner showing the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad. As the Syrian government has gained control over more territory, and violence has calmed in some areas, host countries have discussed returning refugees. Last year, Lebanon also returned around 10,000 Syrian refugees and militants following a security operation. Rich nations have resettled less than 3% of vulnerable Syrian refugees, it said. The US has recently blocked entry to those fleeing Syria, while there have been demands to return refugees in Germany and Denmark.
