Recent reports indicate that thousands of Syrian refugees are crossing the Joussieh border near Homs as they flee intensified Israeli air strikes in Lebanon.
This influx of returnees poses significant challenges for Syria's already strained infrastructure, which is struggling to accommodate the needs of those returning to a war-torn environment.
The situation highlights the urgent need for coordinated humanitarian efforts to address the immediate and long-term impacts of this refugee movement on both Lebanon and Syria.
