What happened, where and when?
Since the morning of Sunday, July 13th, As-Suwayda Governorate has been experiencing a state of insecurity, marked by escalated violence that has extended to several villages in the western countryside and administrative areas bordering Daraa Governorate. These events have resulted in a severe deterioration of the humanitarian situation, with a growing number of fatalities and injuries, including among civilians. A signicant number of families have been forced to ee their homes in search of relatively safer areas, particularly to the city of Salkhad and its surrounding villages, as well as to Daraa Governorate, especially eastern rural areas, both of which are under considerable pressure and suering from acute shortages in basic services.
It is important to note that both governorates have long been experiencing dicult living conditions due to the prolonged economic crisis and the eects of years of compounded emergencies across the country.
As the clashes continue and their scope widens, the region is witnessing a near-total disruption of essential public services, further exacerbating the already challenging living conditions of the aected population. The infrastructure has been signicantly impacted, including widespread power outages in many parts of the governorate. Several health facilities have ceased operations, while both public and private hospitals in Suwayda and Daraa have been overwhelmed by the inux of casualties, severely depleting their operational capacity.
There remains an urgent need for a rapid and comprehensive humanitarian response, while also considering the safe access of humanitarian teams.
