Severe drought and water crisis in Syria
Syria continues to experience a severe drought and water crisis, with dwindling access to clean water and parched agricultural lands affecting millions across the country.
Syria is grappling with its most severe drought in over six decades, compounded by years of conflict, deteriorating infrastructure, and climate change. This has led to widespread water shortages, affecting both urban and rural populations. Agricultural productivity has plummeted, exacerbating food insecurity and displacement. The crisis has prompted urgent calls for sustainable water management and international support to mitigate its humanitarian and environmental impacts.
