Syria has faced a surge in emergencies, including 51 fires and multiple traffic accidents across several provinces. Civil Defense teams reported that the fires affected homes, commercial shops, vegetation, and electrical wiring, resulting in three deaths and six injuries, including two firefighters.
Simultaneously, unstable weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and windstorms, have caused significant disruption in Rif Dimashq, Tartus, and Daraa. Emergency responders addressed various incidents, such as a wall collapse in جرمانا that caused one death, the rescue of a girl trapped on a balcony in Al-Khader, and the clearing of fallen trees and flooded roads in Harasta and Al-Kiswah. In Tartus, teams worked to clear heavy water accumulation in Al-Qadmus to restore traffic flow, while in Daraa, heavy rains flooded residential buildings in the Al-Zahra and Maysalun neighborhoods, causing material damage.
