Drowning Kills 42 Syrians in a Month
Since the beginning of 2026 until the end of July, Syria recorded the deaths of 110 individuals by drowning, including 42 in July alone, reflecting an increase in drowning incidents. Causes of water-related disasters are on the rise, primarily involving boating accidents and reckless swimming. One such tragic incident was the sinking of a ferry in the Euphrates River, which resulted in the death of 8 people, including 5 children. To address the situation, awareness campaigns such as "Together, Our Euphrates is Safe 2" have been launched, aiming to reduce drowning cases and re-educate the public about the dangers of open water swimming, especially after repeated tragic drowning incidents.
