Despite a strong urge to return, many face severe challenges, including insufficient housing, job opportunities, and access to basic services. According to a recent survey, approximately 600,000 internally displaced persons are expected to return within the next six months, revealing a hopeful yet fragile situation influenced by ongoing humanitarian concerns.
