Families in Syria’s Sweida Governorate are trapped without medical care, clean water or enough food after fighting closed hospitals, cut off roads and broken water systems, said Save the Children, calling for immediate safe access for aid. 

Intense fighting has driven more than 93,000 people from their homes in the past 10 days, according to the United Nations, emptying whole communities and leaving bodies lying in the streets, with reports of children among the unburied.  

Hundreds of people have been reported killed, including women, children and medical personnel, since fighting broke out on 11 July, with repeated ceasefire deals collapsing within hours and sporadic shelling, sniper fire, and Israeli airstrikes continuing.  

Save the Children teams have lifesaving food, water, medical supplies and essential relief items, including emergency shelter materials and hygiene kits, pre-positioned and ready to deploy as soon as safe access is secured.
