DEIR EZZOR: The Syrian Arab Republic’s government has continued its emergency operations in Deir Ezzor after surging water levels along the Euphrates River affected about 2,400 families. The crisis prompted widespread evacuations, urgent shelter preparations, and a sweeping humanitarian relief effort. President Ahmad Al-Sharaa arrived in the province on Friday to oversee the expanding response. He was joined by a ministerial delegation to assess ground conditions and look at the immediate resource needs of affected communities.

Water levels of the Euphrates River in northern and eastern Syria have risen, causing flooding over the past two days.
