٣١ يوليو ٢٠٢٥
Damascus, 31 July 2025 — Today, the United Nations and humanitarian partners successfully delivered an inter-agency convoy carrying life-saving assistance to As-Sweida Governorate. The convoy aims to address the urgent needs of families and communities affected by the recent security developments and the resulting disruption in access to essential services.
The inter-agency convoy of 40 trucks delivered a broad range of life-saving assistance, including food, medical supplies such as insulin, fuel, clean water, hygiene kits, shelter materials, and equipment to support hospitals, bakeries, and electricity infrastructure. It also included critical supplies for displaced families and for United Nations teams operating in the governorate.
With over 175,000 people displaced in recent weeks and humanitarian needs escalating rapidly, this operation represents a significant step toward expanding access and scaling up the humanitarian response in affected areas of southern Syria.
“I want to sincerely thank the interim Government for its constructive engagement in facilitating this convoy,” said Mr. Adam Abdelmoula, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria. “We also appreciate the Government’s earlier support in enabling the safe and orderly relocation of UN personnel and their dependents from As-Sweida. These actions reflect a shared commitment to the protection of civilians and the delivery of principled humanitarian assistance”
The United Nations remains committed to working with all relevant stakeholders to ensure the sustained, principled delivery of humanitarian assistance to all communities in need and to further scale up the response in As-Sweida and throughout Syria, where humanitarian needs remain severe.
