- What is measured, and its limits
- A total of crossings into Syria from Lebanon over six months, by nationality, for the whole border: not a figure for any crossing, not a count of returnees (the Syrians include people who do not intend to stay: the same page says around 21 per cent of Syrians crossing reported an intention to remain permanently), and not a measure of total traffic in both directions.

- Specialist question
- None
- Other passages that depend on it
