Shafaqna English- The humanitarian situation in Suwayda, southern Syria, is worsening due to a blockade imposed by forces affiliated with the transitional government and allied armed groups, residents reported on Sunday (03 Aug 2025).
The siege has cut off access to food, fuel, and basic supplies, compounding living and service-related hardships.
Firas Kamal, a resident of Suwayda city, described daily life in Suwayda to Shafaq News as unbearable due to the fuel shortage and the halt in public transport. “Life is nearly paralyzed — no vehicles, no transport, and not enough electricity to even run a water pump.”
Many areas have experienced water outages for days, with most wells out of service. Kamal noted that the lack of electricity and fuel has made it impossible to operate water pumps or carry out repairs. “There are no resources, and equipment or spare parts aren’t allowed in.”
