The UNHCR had included a new pilot phase within the voluntary repatriation program for refugees in the Zaatari and Azraq camps, granting families classified among vulnerable groups an additional assistance of $300 (210 dinars) in response to the increasing demand for return, alongside the basic cash assistance of 70 dinars per returning individual, which is disbursed once to cover immediate return expenses such as transportation, document issuance, and medicine.

According to the UNHCR, the additional support is limited to the most needy families, including households with persons with disabilities, serious medical conditions, or children with special needs, in addition to single-parent or single-caregiver households, or families of eight members or more who hold valid asylum documents and choose to return to Syria.
