DAMASCUS, July 24 (Xinhua) — Despite a declared ceasefire, sporadic clashes, drone strikes and ground fighting continue in Suwayda province and surrounding areas in southern Syria, with the number of displaced people exceeding 145,000, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Wednesday.

According to him, mortar shelling and aerial reconnaissance were recorded from July 20 to 22, civilians were injured, and thousands were forced to flee. Most of the displaced persons remain within the province of As-Suwayda, while some are seeking refuge in the neighboring province of Daraa and rural areas of Damascus.

Access to basic services remains severely disrupted across As-Suwayda. The UN reports widespread disruptions to electricity, water, fuel and communications, while food insecurity is exacerbated by disruptions to markets and the closure of bakeries.

Humanitarian organisations have begun to respond to the crisis, providing health and protection services to affected communities, delivering food, clean water and non-food items. Access constraints remain, hampering their work.

The UN warns that displacement continues in the region, with overcrowded shelters, poor sanitation and explosive contamination exacerbating risks for already vulnerable groups. –0–
