Heating options are dwindling for Syrian families as fuel prices rise and purchasing power declines. The price of a liter of diesel has climbed from 125 to 175 Syrian pounds, while a ton of firewood now costs $300, and some types of nutshells cost even more. The government has announced the distribution of subsidized diesel at 115 pounds per liter, providing 100 liters to each of one million families. But some families say this amount is not enough, while others turn to firewood or burn plastic and paper despite the health and environmental harm. An economic researcher estimates that a family in colder areas needs 250 to 300 liters a month. A household using 600 liters over the winter would spend around 69,000 pounds at the subsidized rate—equivalent to 70% of a government employee’s salary. The researcher called for transparent distribution and an expansion of the pool of eligible recipients.
