Syrians confront unexpected summer rains
The Syrian government warned of a gradual rise in the water levels of the Euphrates River due to increased water flow from the Kediran Dam on the Euphrates. Residents in Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor were advised to stay away from the river and avoid swimming in it. Additionally, the spillway gate of the Euphrates Dam was partially opened to release 100 cubic meters per second in order to protect facilities. Syria also experienced an unusual heavy rainstorm in several areas, leading to flooding and traffic disruptions. Marine alerts were issued regarding high waves and strong winds. These measures are part of the cautious approach to prevent a repeat of the devastating floods that occurred last June, which caused displacements, extensive damage across wide areas, the death of 15 people, and significant agricultural losses.
