The number of Syrian refugees in Erbil Governorate, including both the city and its associated camps, is estimated at approximately 122,666. Of these, 92,740 reside in Erbil and its outskirts outside of camps, while the remainder live in various camps such as Darashakran, Qushtapa, Kawergosk, and Basirma.

The opposition factions entered Syria’s capital, Damascus, earlier on Sunday, declaring the end of Al-Assad’s "dark era" and the beginning of a new chapter for Syria.
