Damascus, Syria – The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that there are no restrictions on the entry of aid into southern Syria. This statement particularly pertains to areas such as Suwayda and Daraa.
This came after her meeting with a number of UN leaders in Syria.
In a statement, the Syrian Foreign Ministry called for strengthening the humanitarian response to those affected in southern Syria.
She also explained that more than 12 aid convoys have been sent to Sweida since the beginning of the crisis.
In addition, she urged donor countries to increase the amount of funding directed to humanitarian programs in the country.
Clashes and confrontations
As-Suwayda witnessed clashes and confrontations that lasted for a week on July 13. These involved Druze fighters and Bedouin tribes. Government security forces intervened to stop the confrontations between the two sides. About 200,000 people were displaced as a result of the conflict, according to United Nations estimates.
But since July 19, the governorate has witnessed a ceasefire following bloody clashes that left hundreds dead.
Two days ago, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa stressed the unity of Syrian territory. He noted that “parties seek strength from Israel but will not be able to achieve their goals,” referring to some calls issued by Druze leaders in Sweida.
