Migration trends
Syria has the largest diaspora in the Middle East: about 8.9M Syrians now live abroad, a number that has grown 49% over the past decade as war drove people out. Most went to nearby countries — Türkiye alone hosts 3.6M, with Jordan next — though Germany has taken in over 860K. Even so, Syria still hosts more than 800K foreign-born residents, the bulk of them Palestinians.
