What happened, where and when?
Since July 13th, As-Suwayda governorate has been experiencing a state of insecurity marked by escalated violence. These events have resulted in a severe deterioration of the humanitarian situation, including fatalities and injuries among civilians. A significant number of families have been displaced within As-Suwayda governorate as well as to Daraa governorate, both of which are under considerable pressure and suffering from acute shortages in basic services. These governorates have long been experiencing difficult living conditions due to the prolonged economic crisis and the effects of years of compounded emergencies across the country.
As-Suwayda is witnessing a near-total disruption of essential public services, further exacerbating the already challenging living conditions of the affected population. The infrastructure has been significantly impacted, including widespread power outages. Several health facilities have ceased operations or have been overwhelmed by the influx of casualties, severely depleting their operational capacity.
As of December 2025, ongoing hostilities and breaches of the ceasefire continue to affect the population residing in As-Suwayda and prevent IDP's from returning home. Access to health and WASH services, as well as relief items, remains limited in As-Suwayda and the prolonged presence of IDP's continues to add pressure on already strained services in hosting communities. There remains an urgent need for a rapid and comprehensive humanitarian response, while also considering the safe access of humanitarian teams.
