## Prediction

Over the next 7 days, continued clashes and shelling in Suweida Governorate are likely to worsen humanitarian conditions, including displacement, shortages of basic goods, and restricted access to medical care. Recent reports of heavy clashes, ground assaults, and artillery fire around Suweida’s western suburbs and nearby villages suggest sustained instability. Local governance structures and aid access are already fragile, and further fighting will impede humanitarian actors and civilian movement. Unless a local ceasefire is brokered, needs assessments and emergency assistance will lag behind emerging needs.

## Drivers

- Recent multiple incidents: artillery shelling, airstrikes, and ground clashes in Suweida
- Trend of drone-centric and hybrid conflicts eroding state control in Syria
- Historic vulnerability of Suweida to disruptions in supply and services
- Limited international attention and resources for this front
