Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The violent conflicts that have been ongoing in the coastal regions of Syria over the past few days have affected the humanitarian and livelihood conditions of the residents of this region despite the cessation of the conflicts, and they are struggling with severe water, food and fuel shortages and disruption of services in large areas, coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan and the drop in air temperatures.
Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed Newspaper wrote that electricity has been cut off in most areas of Latakia as a result of the conflicts and damage to power transmission lines.
With the lack of electricity, water pumping has stopped and people are standing in long lines at the existing wells in the area to get some water. People are also lining up at some bakeries that have resumed operations with limited capacity, while most villages in the Latakia countryside have been left without bread due to a lack of flour.
While there have been many calls for immediate intervention and addressing these crises, the lack of aid is notable given the absence of humanitarian organizations operating in the area and the widespread looting of food stores and residents' property.
Hassan Adla, a resident of the Jablah area in Latakia, described the situation as catastrophic, telling Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: "The prices of all materials and goods have increased due to their shortages, and residents are suffering greatly from water and electricity cuts, and people have to stand in line for hours to get some bread and water."
In this regard, Farah Deeb, a resident of the village of Sanabar in the outskirts of Latakia, also called for urgent humanitarian aid to reach the region, especially tents, winter blankets, drinking water and food, saying: "Due to the fighting and the displacement of people, some residents have not been able to get enough food for several days. What is the fault of children, the sick and the elderly? We must take immediate action to help them."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published new statistics on the number of deaths from crimes committed by forces affiliated with the head of the Syrian transitional government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa in the western province of the country.
The Observatory says that so far, 1,225 civilians have lost their lives in the western provinces of Syria.
According to the Human Rights Center, 132 Alawite civilians lost their lives yesterday, March 11, as follows: 72 people were killed in Tartus and 60 people were killed in Latakia.
This is while Ahmed al-Shara claimed in a media appearance yesterday that the operations of his forces in western Syria had ended.
Ahmed al-Shara also announced the formation of an investigative committee into these crimes, claiming that the committee would begin its investigation in secret and that its results would be announced within 30 days.
The severity of the crimes committed by forces affiliated with Ahmed al-Shara in western Syria was so great that it even drew the attention of the United States and some Western countries. In order to eliminate evidence of their killings, government forces hid a large number of bodies or placed weapons next to them to show that they were military personnel, not civilians.
