Since Bashar al-Assad’s rule overran Syria in December, the UN has reported that one million Syrian refugees have returned to their country, and it has also issued a warning about declining funding for humanitarian operations.
One million Syrians have returned to their country in nine months after the Bashar al-Assad government fell on December 8, 2024, according to a UNHCR statement released on Tuesday.

The organization added that 1. 8 million Syrian refugees who had been displaced there for nearly 14 years had also retreated to their homes.
The conflict broke out after the Assad regime’s crackdown on peaceful antigovernment demonstrations as part of the Arab Spring protests in 2011 caused almost half of Syria’s 13 million population to flee.
Returnees’ challenges:
UNHCR noted that many Syrian refugees are struggling to rebuild their lives, citing the mass returns as “a sign of the great hope and high expectations Syrians have had following the country’s political transition.”
People’s resolve to return and recover are being challenged by “destroyed homes and infrastructure, weak and damaged basic services, a lack of job opportunities, and volatile security,” according to the organization.
More than 4.5 million Syrians are still living abroad, according to UNHCR, and over 7 million of them are internally displaced. It called for more money to be invested in stabilization initiatives and to give more assistance to frightened families.
Appel for humanitarian assistance
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, said, “The international community, the private sector, and Syrians in the diaspora must come together to intensify their efforts to support recovery and ensure that those displaced by conflict are not forced to flee again.”
According to a recent UNHCR survey, 80% of Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq want to go home one day, with 8% claiming they intend to do so within the next year.
The most vulnerable among them still require protection and assistance, according to Grandi, “and they have endured a lot of suffering over the past 14 years.” It’s equally crucial to continue supporting host nations like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey to make sure returns are voluntary, secure, and dignified.
UNHCR issued a warning that aid funding is slipping. Only 30% of the requested funds have been provided for the wider regional Syria response, compared to the only 24 percent available for Syria.
Rihanna, a music legend, and her partner A$AP Rocky welcomed their third child. The couple, who already have two sons, are now proud parents of three kids.
Rihanna, 37, who is also known as Robyn Fenty, made the announcement via social media that she had welcomed a baby girl. The GRAMMY-winning artist captioned her Instagram account as “Rocki Irish Mayers.” Sept 13 2025″.
Rihanna shared the exciting news via Instagram and Badgalriri tonight.

Rihanna showed off her baby bump for the first time at the Met Gala in May, confirming her third pregnancy. The singer, who has two sons with partner A $AP Rocky, had rumors about the birth of a second child weeks before her appearance but had previously wore a number of baggy outfits to conceal her bum until it was appropriate.
Rihanna posed in a figure-hugging ensemble as she made her way to the prestigious annual event in New York City in a video that was shared on social media at the Met Gala to demonstrate her willingness to confirm the speculation. A $AP was also inquired about Rihanna’s appearance during his red carpet show.
“Rihanna’s outfit tonight is… I’m not sure, but whatever, just don’t really cover her baby hump, ya dig? He laughed,” he said to CBS at the time.
At the 2025 gala, where her partner A $AP is co-chaired, pop icon RiRi, who is typically fashionably late, used her fitted two-piece Miu Miu look to make a big announcement. The Carlyle Hotel photographed the star outside with her entire outfit on display before walking the blue carpet.
The Work star’s second pregnancy was revealed during her Super Bowl performance in a similarly covert manner in 2023. She became the first woman to lead the halftime show while she was pregnant in the process.

In May (PA), the Diamond singer made her first baby bump public.
However, the Fenty founder later revealed that she hadn’t initially planned to make her bump debut in the video game. The thing is “Here,” you read. I had to do what, right? In December 2023, she told Access Hollywood that her jumper couldn’t zip up.
She continued, “No one knew I was pregnant,” laughing. Make sure it’s stretchy, I just told my stylist. You know the zip, but the undergarment was stretchy and this [jacket] was baggy. Simply put, it abruptly stopped there! Therefore, it had to be what it was.
Rihanna already has sons Riot Rose and RZA, both of whom were born in May 2022, and rapper A $AP Rocky, who are also biologically related. The SOS singer revealed in a candid interview last year that growing up had increased her aversion to life.
The Los Angeles Times obtained a photo of Rihanna and ASAP with their three children.
“I’m afraid of sh**,” I confess. You worry about your kids’ well-being constantly, she told The Cut. Nobody warns you that having children means you’ll worry about it every day.
The star expanded on raising RZA, three, and Riot, two, earlier this year. She told Harper’s Bazaar, “Every decision I make revolves around them, but everything I do in love with steals my heart.” So I feel strange resentment toward the things I enjoy. You almost feel as though something will always suffer when you appear somewhere.
The proud mother continued, “RZA is just an empath. He has such magical abilities. He enjoys music. He enjoys music. He enjoys books. And Riot, who is also hilarious. He begins to squeal and scream when he awakes. not crying. He merely desires to sing. And I’m like, “Okay, here we go!” He sets my morning alarm! He won’t say “no” to anyone. Dude, I’m not sure where he came from.

Brooklyn Beckham has once again issued a gushing remark towards his wife Nicola Peltz as his family fallout continues. The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham continues to shun his parents and siblings as he gets on with his life stateside.
And despite the turmoil in his family, he maintains a strong bond with his wife. Without Romeo, Cruz, or Harper’s parents present, the couple renewed their wedding vows in Westchester County, New York, last month.
Brooklyn, 26, has sent a loving message to his wife, 32, despite the distance between his blood relatives. He gushed about Nicola’s “supportive” behavior.

Speaking to Daily Mail at the Ryder Cup All-Star match, Brooklyn said: “There’s always going to be people saying negative things but I have a very supportive wife. Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy.”
He refused to be bogged down by speculation about his family life, insisting he “never” worries about it. “Everyone is always going to say rubbish,” he went on. “I just try and do this, play some golf with some friends. It’s good fun.”
Brooklyn’s words may not have been intended to be a subtle dig at his family for the first time. He has avoided publicly praising them on any special occasions, including his father’s 50th birthday. He has also avoided doing so.
And it appears as though he has also been cut from his life because of his distance from his immediate family. Finlay’s cousin, whose birthday was recently snubbed by the chef/photographer, is now celebrated.
Earlier this month, almost all of the Beckhams took to Instagram to share sweet tributes to Finlay, who is the son of Victoria Beckham’s sister. It came as he celebrated his 21st birthday.
Victoria shared an old snap of her nephew alongside a message reading, “Happy birthday. We love you!!!” Romeo and Cruz quickly followed suit, but there was no sign of any message incoming from Brooklyn.
Brooklyn follows a similar pattern, notwishing a happy birthday to his only other brother Romeo.
He also chose not to attend his brother’s birthday party, and he also chose not to speak out about his father’s knighthood.
Following blanking his brother, a source told Metro that it was “unrealistic” to expect him to post about his brothers following their mocking of his varied careers before blocking him on Instagram.
According to the source, “Brooklyn has been the subject of two of his brothers’ public trolling, and they even blocked him and Nicola a few months ago.” Therefore, expecting him to extend an olive branch is unrealistic.

Collin Morikawa has dismissed the idea that the United States’ Ryder Cup players receiving payment might mean they have less desire than Europe’s team.
All 12 of the American team – plus captain Keegan Bradley – are being given $500,000 (£370,000), with $300,000 (£220,000) of that going to a charity of their choice.
It is the first time in the biennial tournament’s 98-year history that players have received a stipend.
The Europeans are not paid to play.
Asked how much he thinks each American deserves, Morikawa said: “There’s no number. It could be zero. It could be one dollar. There isn’t a right or a wrong amount.
“Look, I think at the end of the day, all 12 of us here playing when we tee it up on Friday, and before this all started, we just want to win the Ryder Cup.
“We want to win it for ourselves. We want to win it for our country.”
The payment for the Americans has brought a lot of negative attention, with critics believing it does not fit with the ethos of the Ryder Cup.
Detractors also argue the players – who earn multi-millions on the tours – do not need the extra income.
Former European Ryder Cup player Darren Clarke has previously said the idea of being paid to play in the tournament “does not sit well with me”, while former European captain Paul McGinley has described the move as “a massive mistake”.
Morikawa, who won The Open in 2021, says the financial support means the players can help people they “care about”.
“I think the PGA of America is making a lot of money from the Ryder Cup and I think on that end, it’s just to give us an opportunity to either pay our respective teams, because look, the teams behind us, they don’t get the recognition that we do but they deserve a lot of it that we get,” he added.
“Also just to give back to our own communities, right. We have a lot of communities back home that sometimes don’t get the recognition.”
Morikawa is the latest American player to play down the significance of the appearance money.
Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay and Schauffele said on Tuesday they would be donating the full $500,000 to charity.
Not all the US players have divulged what they plan to do with the cash.
Rose open to Trump presenting trophy
Europe’s Justin Rose says he would relish seeing US President Donald Trump present the visiting team with the Ryder Cup on Sunday.
Trump, who is a huge golf fan, is set to attend the opening day of the tournament on Friday.
He is not currently scheduled to be at Bethpage over the weekend, but recently presented Chelsea with the football Club World Cup on stage in New Jersey and also attended the US Open men’s tennis final earlier this month.
If Trump did decide to turn up again on Sunday, Rose would not be opposed to the president handing over the trophy to the Europeans in the event of a rare away win.
“I’m not sure he’s going to want to be on the stage congratulating the team that wins in his backyard,” added the Englishman.
New York City, United States – Rasha, 10, felt compelled to write her will after nearly being killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza in June.
Please do not cry for me because your tears make me hurt if I die or become a martyr,” she wrote. I hope the people who need them receive my clothing. ”

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Thaer Ahmad, a Palestinian American physician who has been volunteering in Gaza for the past two years, addressed Rasha’s story to diplomats.
Rasha prayed that her parents wouldn’t yell at her 11-year-old brother excessively and that the rest of her things be divided among her siblings in her will.
Three months later, another Israeli bombing killed Raza.
The diplomats who gathered to reiterate their support for a pledge called Call to Action for Palestinian Children in the West Bank and Gaza, which has been adopted by more than 70 nations, received one of their stories.
Since the first call to action was made in June of last year, Israel has killed thousands of Palestinian children and many more have been displaced, hurt, and denied access to food since then.
This suffering is not unavoidable, he says. Choices, actions, and inaction are a result, and choices can change, according to Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot.
On September 24, 2025, diplomats and delegations gather at the UN to demand their protection of Palestinian children.
He also implicitly refuted Israel’s false claim that the UN and aid organizations aren’t delivering the humanitarian aid that is being piled up near Gaza’s deadly hunger-ravaged areas.
According to Prevot, I disagree with those who claim the humanitarian system is ineffective.
It lacks access, according to the author. The decision to restrict access is made in advance. Rules exist for war, and they start with humanity. They are illegal to ignore in addition. It is a betrayal of who we are. ”
Israel is “committing genocide,” according to the statement.
Since the start of the conflict in October 2023, Israel has killed more than 20,000 children in Gaza, according to health officials.
Children continue to be the most vulnerable segment of the population as the Israeli blockade deepens a famine that a UN-backed hunger monitor has declared in some areas of the territory.
Ayman Safadi, the country’s foreign minister, warned that Israel would not put an end to its atrocities until the world joined forces to end impunity.
Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, let’s say. It is a hunger 2 He claimed there were 3 million Palestinians. Palestinian children’s lives are horror stories in the desert that Gaza has created. ”
For his part, UNHCR’s Tom Fletcher demanded immediate action to end Palestinian children’s suffering, claiming that they were denied all rights that the law of war provided for them.
He claimed that the famine in Gaza was brought on by cruelty, which was justified by retaliation, which was facilitated by indifference, and which was supported by complicity.
For almost two years, a child has been killed on average every hour in Gaza. Over 700,000 children in Gaza are denied access to education because of shelter bombings and horrifying school conditions there. ”
Because Palestinian children are unable to consume statements and concerns, he called for a ceasefire and for humanitarian assistance to be granted.
The 2024 pledge to support Palestinian children does not address Israel, which was called a Call to Action for Palestinian Children. It is merely a list of demands made by governments to aid humankind and a rejection of abuses.
It has received international support. worldwide, including Australia and the UK; Italy and Japan.
A ceasefire is necessary, it is said.
Oxfam America’s president, Abby Maxman, presented a list of demands made by the organization at the UN event:
avoiding atrocity-related arms transfers
ensuring compliance with international law by reviewing and amending trade agreements
adopting legal measures to end impunity in the financial, political, and diplomatic sectors.
Maxman remarked, “These are not radical measures.” To save Palestinian children, they are the absolute minimum. Resolutions, advisory opinions, and international humanitarian law also confirm these obligations.
Few nations have imposed sanctions on the United States’ allies or fundamentally altered their relationship with them, despite the numerous nations around the world who have condemned Israel’s atrocities and the forced starvation it is putting on Gaza.
Riyad Mansour, the UN envoy for Palestine, shared stories of interactions with young people from Gaza on Wednesday, including a 12-year-old who was visiting the UN’s main office as part of UNRWA’s initiative.
Mansour recalls enquiring about the child’s future plans for him as a child. He declared, “I want to be a diplomat. I want to appoint someone else to serve as Palestine’s ambassador. ‘”
The Palestinian diplomat claimed that he had no idea whether the children he had a conversation with were still alive.
As he slammed gently on the table, Mansour continued, “These are the beautiful stories of our children.”
