Displaced Syrian people wait on April 9, 2016 in the central Syrian city of Homs before boarding buses made available by the government to drive them back to their homes in the town of Palmyra. Syrian troops backed by Russian forces recaptured Palmyra on March 27, 2016, after a fierce offensive to rescue the city from jihadists who view the UNESCO-listed site's magnificent ruins as idolatrous.
