Environment

State Minister for Environment Affairs has affirmed that environment in Syria suffers from the increasing negative effects of the five-year-old crisis in the country.

Nazira Sarkis made it clear that the crisis directly or indirectly affected the Syrian citizen’s health and living through the forest fires and pollution of water, air and soil that caused social, health and economic problems.

She was quoted on the Tishreen newspaper on Thursday as citing that the displacement of citizens from flashpoint areas to safe ones increased pressure on environmental resources. “Demand for water has increased and the amount of trash raised amid difficulties to remove them.”

The minister asserted the need for reactivating cooperation and coordination between environmental institutes and evaluating the environmental projects within rehabilitation process as well as reactivating the role of local community.
