More than 93,000 Syrians have been moved through SweidaThe governor of Dar’a Voisin and Rural Damascus due to the climbing of violence in the city, said UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, during the daily newspaper on Monday in New York.
Sweida’s most displaced people remain with local communities or in one of the 15 reception centers, while around 30 collective shelters opened in Dar’a.
Infrastructure and services suffer in the region. Some Sweida Hospitals and Health Centers are out of service, water infrastructure has been seriously damaged, significant electricity cuts have been reported and access to food is disrupted.
Delivery of initial aid
On Sunday, the first aid convoy deployed by the Syrian Arab Arab Croissant reached Sweida and the Salkhad district in the city, where most displaced people are looking for security.
The convoy of 32 trucks carried food, water, medical supplies and fuel provided by the World Food Program (Wfp), the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) and other partners.
The United Nations Coordinator of the United Nations Tom Fletcher welcomed This initial delivery on social networks, claiming that it was a “first step desperately necessary, but much more relief is necessary”.
Mr. Dujarric stressed that, as the UN is committed to the relevant parties to facilitate humanitarian access and ensure the protection of civilians, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ochha) Work with the authorities to facilitate a direct visit to Sweida to provide assistance when the security conditions allow.
Mr. Fletcher echoes this feeling, saying that the Ocha teams “are mobilized to move as much as possible”.
“We continue to urge all the parties to protect people who have been taken in violence, including by allowing them to freely move to security and medical assistance,” concluded Dujarric.
