"Over the last 24 hours, 64 people left the camps for internally displaced persons for their homes in the provinces of Aleppo (23 people) and Homs (41 people)," the bulletin by the ministry's Center for Syrian Reconciliation read.
The Syrian civil war has been raging since 2011, being fought between government troops and numerous opposition and terrorist organizations.
