flag Severe drought threatens Syria's recovery from civil war, drastically cutting wheat harvests.

flag A severe drought, the worst in decades, is threatening Syria's recovery from a 14-year civil war. flag Declining rainfall has dried up rivers, lakes, and crops, causing water shortages in cities. flag Before the war, Syria produced 3.5 to 4.5 million tons of wheat annually, but this year's harvest is expected to yield only 1 million tons, increasing reliance on imports and aid. flag The drought adds to the challenges of a costly reconstruction process and ongoing instability.
