As reported by DW on 21 October 2025, Germany’s plan to deport Syrian nationals to Syria is facing stark criticism. “Syria is at its limit; its capacity to take in refugees has already been exhausted,” Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, director of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Syria, told Süddeutsche Zeitung last week. He stated that increasing deportations to Syria would contribute to a worsening of the country’s situation.
