Syrian refugees looking for a way back home

If peace is restored in Syria, voluntary repatriation of refugees will be a viable option. But to encourage refugees to return, a safe and healthy environment has to be created for them. The United Nations and its agencies should help by offering a special relief package for voluntary repatriation like providing seed capital for businessmen and traders, free schooling for children, assistance for rebuilding homes and vocational training for craftsman.

When the refugees return, their brave decision should be rewarded with them being received by the UN agencies to help them rebuild their lives rather than being left to the mercy of the local government. They need continued support from the international community during the post-conflict phase.
