This is currently the most dangerous and widespread front, with fires spreading across the villages of al-Sukariya, al-Rihaniya, Dughmashliya, Swaik, and Ghamam. The rugged terrain, lack of nearby water sources (the nearest supply points are 20–30 km away), shifting winds, and the presence of dry vegetation have all accelerated the spread of the flames.

🫁 These conditions pose a serious and immediate risk to individuals suffering from asthma and respiratory illnesses, especially children and the elderly. Residents are advised to keep windows closed, ensure family members’ safety, and urgently contact relatives to prevent children from being exposed to smoke while asleep.

🙏 Urgent Appeal: We urge all residents to exercise maximum caution and widely share this alert to safeguard lives.

Arson fires, deliberately set by Jihadists of the de facto authority, have broken out in the lands of al-Qarama and al-Rafi‘a villages near the Maqam of Sheikh Salman in Bahloulieh, Latakia countryside.

Residents able to assist are urgently requested to head to the area to help contain the flames and prevent them from reaching homes.

#FollowUp
