Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in As-Suwayda Amidst Ongoing Tensions
The province of As-Suwayda is grappling with a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by ongoing violence and violations attributed to both government forces and local factions. The situation has been further complicated by inter-clan disputes and external interventions.
Activists and journalists are calling for unimpeded access for humanitarian organizations, notably the Red Crescent, to address critical infrastructure failures, including electricity and water supply. They emphasize the need for these organizations to collaborate with ministries to ensure a consistent flow of essential supplies, from medical equipment to basic necessities like bread.
Concerns are also being raised about the presence of snipers in villages bordering Daraa,hindering residents from returning to their homes to attend to their families and property.There are also calls for an immediate cessation of sectarian army activities and for the press to be granted access to the province, with the ban seen as an attempt to conceal potential violations.
The politicization of aid is being strongly condemned, with historical parallels drawn to sieges imposed by Syrian government forces on areas like Ghouta and Madaya. The article highlights the solidarity shown by the people of As-Suwayda in smuggling food and medicine to those affected by such blockades.
The current crisis in As-Suwayda began with a series of mutual kidnappings between Bedouin clans and local Druze factions. The Syrian government’s subsequent intervention, siding with the Bedouin clans, met with significant resistance.The involvement of clan elements and Israeli airstrikes have further intensified the complexity of the situation.According to the Syrian network for Human Rights, at least 814 individuals, including women, children, medical personnel, and media workers, have been killed in As-Suwayda as the outbreak of tensions on July 13th. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports even higher casualty figures,with many bodies in the western countryside remaining uncounted due to access restrictions. The number of missing and kidnapped individuals also remains unknown, despite the cessation of direct hostilities ten days prior.
