[00:03:08] discourse that does And from Deir Ezzor, Musab Al-Hind, a correspondent for Syria TV, joins us. Welcome,
[00:03:10] Musab, to brief us on the details
[00:03:13] the gas stations in of the situation there in Deir Ezzor after
[00:03:15] the dust storm, and it seems that this storm has receded. Could you describe
[00:03:19] the situation to us?
[00:03:22] Greetings to you, Dima, and to our dear viewers. A little while ago,
[00:03:25] about half an hour ago, we were filming in this place, the
[00:03:28] atmosphere here was completely covered
[00:03:31] by the dust storm.
[00:03:33] The atmosphere of Deir Ezzor governorate in the early
[00:03:37] morning hours, after dawn, and the storm lasted
[00:03:40] for about three hours before half
[00:03:44] an hour ago it moved to
[00:03:46] eastern Syria towards the city of Al-Bukamal, all the way
[00:03:50] We monitor the details of the situation with to Iraq. Of course, some minor injuries were recorded
[00:03:53] throughout Deir Ezzor governorate. A motorcycle
[00:03:56] consequently, work in accident, a motorcycle collided clinic that serves this with a car, and was transported to
[00:04:00] the hospital with minor injuries. Also, some people who
[00:04:03] suffer from asthma patients, some of these people
[00:04:07] were evacuated to the National Hospital and the necessary measures
[00:04:10] were taken for them, with no major damage recorded throughout
[00:04:15] much greater than
[00:04:15] meaning, the residential the governorate. Of course, regarding Deir Ezzor governorate, there were
[00:04:17] previous warnings from the Ministry of Emergency
[00:04:21] and Disaster and Civil Defense
[00:04:25] and also the men throughout eastern Syria, Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, Hasakah, and some parts of Aleppo.
[00:04:28] It said that there will be
[00:04:31] rain storms,
[00:04:34] some gas station owners to not register for thunder storms, and also
[00:04:37] see what the steps are for dust storms that will hit these areas throughout eastern Syria, and this is what we witnessed last
[00:04:40] month. There was a rain storm accompanied by
[00:04:44] severe thunder and lightning and also today
[00:04:47] we saw this dust storm. The preparations also included
[00:04:50] high-altitude areas, residents who live in
[00:04:54] high areas, rooftops of houses, everyone who has any
[00:04:57] object that can fly, and based on that, Musab,
[00:05:01] classes were suspended in
[00:05:04] the first country in the all schools in the governorate. What is the situation like now? The movement
[00:05:06] of residents inside
[00:05:08] the city?
[00:05:12] To their work, they went
[00:05:16] the institutions where they work. However, in the
[00:05:19] early morning hours, visibility was completely non-existent. In fact,
[00:05:23] some residents were unable to go out. We also saw very few
[00:05:26] cars in all the streets. Now, movement has returned to
[00:05:30] normal. Of course, school
[00:05:32] attendance was suspended by the Directorate of Education, and this was published on all
[00:05:36] pages of Deir Ezzor governorate,
[00:05:39] students. However, the
[00:05:42] second shift in Deir Ezzor has a significant
[00:05:46] shortage of schools, so the morning shift was completely suspended. Some
[00:05:49] schools resumed classes after the dust storm cleared
[00:05:53] and moved to other areas throughout Deir
[00:05:56] Ezzor governorate. Also, regarding rooftops, the ministry
[00:06:00] warned residents to secure any object that can fly, such as solar
[00:06:04] energy panels, unsecured tanks, and
[00:06:07] not to approach trees. This is very important, according
[00:06:10] to what the ministry stated. However, the dust storm has now cleared,
[00:06:14] but there are also warnings of the return of rain to eastern Syria,
[00:06:18] to Deir Ezzor governorate, accompanied by thunderstorms, of which
[00:06:22] the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster warned. There could
[00:06:24] also be other dust storms which we call "dust haze"
[00:06:28] throughout Deir Ezzor governorate. The dust on the ground,
[00:06:31] meaning it reached about 10 mm, according to what we see and observe.
[00:06:35] It covered the entire Deir Ezzor governorate. Some
[00:06:38] asthma patients were transported to the hospital and dealt with. This is all that
[00:06:42] we witnessed throughout the governorate. The storm lasted for about
[00:06:45] three hours after the dawn prayer, about ten minutes
[00:06:49] until half an hour ago, until the dust cleared
[00:06:51] and the dust storm moved to the city
[00:06:55] of Al-Bukamal, all the way to Iraq. Thank you very much, Musab
[00:06:59] Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent, you were with us from Deir
[00:07:01] Ezzor.
[00:07:04] And in Idlib, heavy rains that fell hours
[00:07:07] ago caused significant damage in some camps in the governorate,
[00:07:11] where he documented the conditions of their tents in the Barisha
[00:07:15] area in the countryside of the governorate.
[00:09:03] Alaf Al-Ali, Syria TV correspondent, live with us from
[00:09:06] Barisha camps in Idlib countryside. Welcome, Alaf,
[00:09:10] to put us in the picture of the situation after the rain
[00:09:12] storm that hit the area and led to damage
[00:09:16] to some of the camps in Barisha. How does the situation
[00:09:18] look now?
[00:09:22] Yes, Dima, 25% of,
[00:09:27] communities in this camp had been damaged
[00:09:31] by the rain storm last night, and these damages
[00:09:34] caused damage to civilians' property
[00:09:37] and water entering their homes.
[00:09:40] Today, with the early morning hours, they were
[00:09:44] drying these,
[00:09:47] meaning, furniture and belongings, and also pulling
[00:09:51] and draining the water that accumulated due to the rain
[00:09:55] storm last night. This camp has been suffering
[00:09:58] for years from dilapidation in
[00:10:01] its infrastructure. If we notice in the picture, let me
[00:10:05] move away a little, Dima. We notice that today
[00:10:08] these camps are made up of
[00:10:11] concrete walls or cinder blocks, but
[00:10:14] the roofs are plastic tarpaulins that
[00:10:18] have deteriorated due to weather factors
[00:10:22] throughout the past years, and their
[00:10:25] lifespan has expired, to be honest.
[00:10:27] Therefore, these camps are suffering
[00:10:31] today from these
[00:10:34] rain storms that directly harm
[00:10:38] and residents in this
[00:10:40] For more details, Ahmed
[00:10:44] Abu Khaled, the camp director in the Barisha
[00:10:47] تجمع camps, joins us to give us a bigger picture
[00:10:51] of this tragedy
[00:10:55] that has befallen the residents of the camp. Mr. Ahmed,
[00:10:58] please tell us, what happened
[00:11:01] today to these camps after
[00:11:04] the rain storm, and it is not the first time that a rain storm
[00:11:08] has caused this tragedy for the residents
[00:11:11] of the camp? First of all, welcome to Syria TV. Here
[00:11:15] we have about a thousand families in the Madina Munawwarah
[00:11:19] gathering camp in Barisha. Most families here live in
[00:11:22] blocks and tarpaulins.
[00:11:25] Last night there was a very strong rain storm
[00:11:28] that led to, I mean, all the tarpaulins
[00:11:31] were almost torn, and water started to spring
[00:11:35] from the ground because the drains
[00:11:38] were blocked. They were not open, so we tried to open them
[00:11:42] and fix them, but it didn't work. About 25%
[00:11:46] of the camp was damaged.
[00:11:49] Last night, people didn't know where to go.
[00:11:52] Here, people want help. They need
[00:11:55] tarpaulins, insulation. They want to return to their homes
[00:11:58] as much as possible. All of them are pleading to return to their homes because
[00:12:02] they have been displaced here for almost six years and have endured
[00:12:06] severe suffering.
[00:12:10] We hope that the authorities or anyone
[00:12:13] who can help in this matter will come and help because people
[00:12:17] are very tired, and God willing, they will be able
[00:12:20] to return to their homes as soon as possible. Thank you.
[00:12:28] Yes, Dima, as Abu Ahmed told us,
[00:12:33] place to go
[00:12:37] after this storm that befell them.
[00:12:40] There were reports of these families being moved
[00:12:44] to concrete blocks, but today families do not want
[00:12:47] aid or concrete blocks; rather, their
[00:12:50] only demand is indeed to return to their
[00:12:53] villages and cities from which they were displaced after
[00:12:57] six or seven years of
[00:13:00] their stay in these dilapidated camps.
[00:13:04] And today, the decline in support and lack of funding for these
[00:13:07] camps also puts them before
[00:13:11] greater problems in securing life's necessities
[00:13:15] water, electricity, and others. Also,
[00:13:19] these demands from the residents, is there any intervention from the concerned authorities
[00:13:23] responsible for that? Has there been any movement after this
[00:13:27] storm?
[00:13:31] Yes, Dima, as Abu Ahmed told
[00:13:34] me a little while ago, usually there is a response from the
[00:13:37] Civil Defense teams, represented by the Ministry of Emergency
[00:13:41] and Disaster Management, to work on
[00:13:44] clearing sewage drains and cleaning them
[00:13:48] in order to drain water from gathering areas
[00:13:52] and also to drain accumulated water in
[00:13:55] civilians' homes. However, this time, the
[00:13:59] efforts were individual efforts. The residents
[00:14:02] of the camp worked by themselves
[00:14:05] to drain and remove
[00:14:09] this water from their homes. And they also
[00:14:13] told me that the water reached the only
[00:14:18] camp, and also,
[00:14:21] the clinic stopped providing healthcare services
[00:14:25] and some property was damaged. Sometimes
[00:14:27] there is a response, and at other times, residents do not
[00:14:31] wait for a response from the Civil Defense
[00:14:35] teams because the scale of the disaster is
[00:14:40] waiting until there is a response.
[00:14:43] So they work themselves through individual efforts from the
[00:14:47] youth of the camp
[00:14:50] present in this camp.
[00:14:53] Within the plan for the return of the camp residents
[00:14:56] or "Syria Without Camps," which was launched by the Syrian government,
[00:15:00] there is continuous facilitation of voluntary return
[00:15:03] convoys from the camps of northern Syria to various areas in
[00:15:06] southern Idlib countryside and other
[00:15:09] governorates, Dima. However, today, the lack
[00:15:13] of basic necessities for life and
[00:15:16] infrastructure to help them, or even housing, is
[00:15:20] what hinders the return of these displaced people.
[00:15:22] Thank you, thank you very much. Alaf Al-Ali,
[00:15:26] Syria TV correspondent, you were with us from Barisha camps
[00:15:30] in Idlib countryside. Thank
[00:15:31] you.
[00:15:40] Syria TV's correspondent reported the incursion of Israeli occupation
[00:15:43] forces into Wadi Al-Ruqad in the western countryside of Daraa. Our
[00:15:47] correspondent added that the invading forces opened fire towards
[00:15:50] agricultural lands before withdrawing from the area. These
[00:15:54] field developments come at a time when a UN
[00:15:59] Israeli violations in southern Syria, recording
[00:16:03] approximately 280 infiltration incidents in
[00:16:06] May
[00:16:08] alone.
[00:16:13] The Hasakah Information Directorate reported that the so-called
[00:16:17] "Revolutionary Youth" kidnapped a young man from his
[00:16:20] workplace on 60th Street in Ghweran neighborhood in Hasakah city
[00:16:24] after impersonating security officials. The directorate
[00:16:27] clarified that the kidnapping of the young man, Mohammed Mahmoud
[00:16:30] Hassan, 27 years old,
[00:16:33] came against the backdrop of his participation in demonstrations demanding the lifting of the Syrian
[00:16:37] flag, establishing security, and imposing state sovereignty,
[00:16:41] noting that the kidnappers fired between his feet during
[00:16:44] his resistance, beat and insulted
[00:16:48] him, and threatened to liquidate him.
[00:16:51] The directorate added that the kidnappers handed the young man over to the organized
[00:16:54] crime unit affiliated with Asayish before
[00:17:00] the internal security forces and the
[00:17:02] regional administration.
[00:17:14] Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed with the Deputy
[00:17:18] Commander of the Army in Benghazi, Saddam Khalifa
[00:17:21] Haftar, the issue of missing Syrians in Libya during
[00:17:25] an official visit to the city of Benghazi, Libya. According to
[00:17:28] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, yesterday's meeting discussed
[00:17:33] matters of common interest, especially the opening
[00:17:37] of the Syrian consulate in the city of Benghazi, and a number of joint
[00:17:41] security issues between the two sides, in addition
[00:17:44] to following up on the conditions of missing Syrian citizens in
[00:17:47] Libya.
[00:17:53] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a consultative workshop
[00:17:57] in Damascus to develop a national approach to dealing with hate
[00:18:01] speech, with the participation of concerned parties
[00:18:03] and with technical facilitation
[00:18:07] from experts from the office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations
[00:18:11] to Syria. For
[00:18:15] doubt and fear, while
[00:18:18] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with all
[00:18:21] agencies, seeks to rid Syria of these
[00:18:24] effects of the Assad chemical
[00:18:27] era and the weapons they left behind. So these
[00:18:30] priorities are presented to our people. The goal is
[00:18:34] to reach Syria in the form that the Syrian
[00:18:38] people deserve, including the fact that
[00:18:40] we now notice the presence of uncontrolled
[00:18:45] not conform to the principles of the Syrian people and does not conform to the values
[00:18:49] represented by the Syrian people, and which the Syrian people
[00:18:53] themselves fundamentally reject. Transforming this
[00:18:56] popular situation into
[00:18:59] a controlled governmental framework is
[00:19:03] the goal of the effort that begins with today's workshop, and it
[00:19:06] does not begin and end in one workshop, but rather it is a path
[00:19:10] that started previously through many national bodies, including the Ministry of Information
[00:19:14] and the Ministry of Justice. However, now it is placed within a unified
[00:19:17] effort to reach a more coherent
[00:19:21] and organized process between government agencies
[00:19:24] and national bodies and ministries. We look forward to our
[00:19:27] discussions today helping us build a common understanding.
[00:19:30] The Deputy Special Envoy of the United Nations to Syria,
[00:19:34] Claudio Cordone, said in an interview with Syria TV that the initiative
[00:19:37] of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs paves the way for developing an action
[00:19:41] plan to combat
[00:19:42] hate speech.
[00:19:50] Today, a workshop
[00:19:52] chaired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this is the first step in
[00:19:56] developing an action plan against hate
[00:19:59] speech in Syria. Today, we are comparing
[00:20:03] some experts in several
[00:20:08] ministries. At the
[00:20:10] end of the day, we will
[00:20:14] the future. As I said, this
[00:20:17] initiative must also include civil
[00:20:21] society, religious leaders, media
[00:20:24] outlets, meaning in a wide range
[00:20:27] to develop this plan.
[00:20:31] So this is the first plan, and God willing,
[00:20:34] we will reach an action plan. And
[00:20:38] this will make Syria
[00:20:41] Arab world to have this
[00:20:43] plan.
[00:20:55] Syria TV's correspondent reported
[00:20:59] fuel, especially diesel, in the cities of Aleppo
[00:21:03] and Idlib, which led to the closure of most gas stations due
[00:21:06] to the depletion of their stock of this material. Our
[00:21:10] correspondent explained that the stations that are still operating are witnessing huge
[00:21:14] traffic jams amid a shortage of gasoline
[00:21:17] and its availability in limited quantities. In this context,
[00:21:21] local sources reported the halt of gasoline supply due
[00:21:24] to the low quality of the quantities available at stations
[00:21:28] amidst anticipation of the arrival of new supplies.
[00:21:42] On this topic, I welcome Ibrahim Sweid, Syria TV correspondent, with
[00:21:45] us live from Idlib, and Ibrahim Al-Khatib from Aleppo. Welcome
[00:21:48] to you. From Aleppo, with you, Ibrahim
[00:21:52] Al-Khatib, to tell us about the reality of this
[00:21:55] material, fuel derivatives,
[00:21:59] the stations.
[00:22:02] Good evening, Dima. In fact, this crisis erupted suddenly regarding
[00:22:05] diesel. Today, we toured more than ten
[00:22:08] gas stations in Aleppo city, and all of them
[00:22:12] complain about the complete absence of diesel, coinciding, effectively,
[00:22:16] with a severe crisis also regarding gasoline. Every instance
[00:22:19] of missing material and a crisis regarding material
[00:22:22] has reasons here, which some station owners provided to us. They said, regarding
[00:22:26] gasoline, that the material is available, but there is pressure on some
[00:22:30] gas stations due to a number of stations
[00:22:33] refusing to receive the material, gasoline, in the past few days,
[00:22:37] due to the problems that occurred and the arrival of gasoline
[00:22:41] that is unsuitable for use, and the
[00:22:44] on cars. Regarding diesel, the shortage is related
[00:22:48] to delayed deliveries. Some gas stations submitted a request
[00:22:52] last week to withdraw quantities, but these quantities have not arrived. And if you allow me,
[00:22:56] I will only record from my current location in front of
[00:22:59] one of the gas stations in
[00:23:03] the road leading between Burj Al-Qalaa Roundabout
[00:23:06] towards Al-Fayd Roundabout. It is one of the well-known gas stations here, and
[00:23:10] gasoline is available there, but as you can see
[00:23:13] now, this severe crisis, almost
[00:23:16] the queue reaches about a kilometer
[00:23:22] queue of cars waiting
[00:23:26] fuel. It seems that rationing has effectively begun because the gas stations that
[00:23:29] have gasoline have started distributing smaller
[00:23:32] quantities due to these queues
[00:23:35] and to enable a larger number of cars
[00:23:38] to fill up. Diesel is completely
[00:23:42] missing from Haritan
[00:23:45] on the main street, all the way to Aleppo city, all gas stations
[00:23:49] complain about the lack of diesel. We asked about the reason for the
[00:23:52] sudden absence of diesel and they said
[00:23:56] that the quantities that were registered during the past period
[00:24:00] did not reach all
[00:24:03] the city. Meanwhile, the reason for this
[00:24:06] crisis is that some gas stations started
[00:24:10] not registering for gasoline last week because the quantities of gasoline
[00:24:14] that arrived were adulterated, as they say, or unsuitable for use, and this
[00:24:17] actually resulted in problems that
[00:24:20] effectively led to this situation that we are witnessing directly.
[00:24:24] Hello, how are you, uncle? How are you, uncle?
[00:24:28] Thank God, how are
[00:24:30] you?
[00:24:34] How is this doing?
[00:24:37] It's been two minutes. How is the situation?
[00:24:41] Some of it is bad, some of it is good. By God, Professor,
[00:24:44] I don't know you.
[00:24:46] It's
[00:24:50] not available It's available,
[00:24:53] but there's a problem with it.
[00:24:57] The latest incident regarding adulterated gasoline or bad gasoline.
[00:25:00] By God, I drove my car, and they told me that
[00:25:03] the gas station owners are cheating. I don't know, by God.
[00:25:07] I don't know the story, Professor.
[00:25:11] May God give you strength, uncle. So, Dima, the problem of
[00:25:14] gasoline is related to the fact that the gasoline that was supplied to the gas stations during
[00:25:18] the past period led to a problem. This problem caused
[00:25:24] the shipments that arrived during the past week. The gas stations that
[00:25:27] registered for the shipments, you can see now that there is a crisis and
[00:25:31] effectively, there are queues of cars stopping. They said about
[00:25:34] diesel that the delay in deliveries effectively led to the unavailability of the material in all
[00:25:38] the stations that we visited since the morning
[00:25:41] in the governorate. We are also talking about a problem
[00:25:44] since the thirteenth of last month, when the press conference
[00:25:47] was held with the presence of the Minister of Energy and also the Director of the Syrian
[00:25:51] Petroleum Company. The discussion was effectively about the existence of three
[00:25:55] types of fuel. Diesel, primarily, will be supplied
[00:25:58] to gas stations. Also, at the level of Aleppo governorate, the second type,
[00:26:02] which is the refined type that
[00:26:06] cars, has not arrived. Therefore, the main
[00:26:09] and regular diesel, and this diesel that we are currently talking about is
[00:26:13] almost completely cut off from all stations
[00:26:16] in the governorate. Okay, in Idlib, how does the situation look, Ibrahim
[00:26:20] Sweid? Are the problems in Aleppo
[00:26:23] the same as those related to the fuel
[00:26:26] crisis and fuel
[00:26:27] at stations?
[00:26:32] not much difference between Idlib governorate
[00:26:36] and Aleppo governorate, as the two regions
[00:26:39] are connected to each other, both on the highway and in villages
[00:26:42] and towns, but with slight differences. Behind me, just
[00:26:46] a little while ago, gasoline arrived at this gas station in the southern Idlib countryside.
[00:26:50] It is available, and there is no one actually filling
[00:26:53] up gasoline, except for some motorcycles or cars that come every now
[00:26:57] and then. I asked about the quality of the
[00:27:00] available gasoline, and he said that these
[00:27:04] are new, and they were delivered today, and according
[00:27:07] to what was mentioned, they undergo tests, according to
[00:27:10] this station. He said that the gasoline is of good
[00:27:14] quality, but the colors differ. About
[00:27:18] a week ago, the red color caused great damage to
[00:27:21] car engines. Then gasoline with a yellow
[00:27:25] color came, and it also had some problems. Now he is talking about an orange
[00:27:28] color. In fact, the difference between the qualities
[00:27:32] and colors, and this matter is, in fact, very
[00:27:36] annoying for the residents, that types
[00:27:41] are tested at these stations. But as for diesel, as
[00:27:44] you can see right behind me,
[00:27:48] leave the picture a little, you can see that diesel
[00:27:52] is completely missing. There is no
[00:27:55] presence of diesel in
[00:27:59] these stations. There was some presence
[00:28:04] the international highway, specifically at Taybeh gas stations belonging
[00:28:08] to the government, but essentially, some drivers' sources said
[00:28:11] that diesel is available
[00:28:15] only to those who have coupons
[00:28:18] primarily, meaning ambulances,
[00:28:20] police, meaning the government and so on,
[00:28:23] because the stock available in these gas stations
[00:28:27] may run out at any moment. Therefore, the same reasons
[00:28:30] that my colleague Ibrahim Khatib mentioned, that there was
[00:28:34] a shortage in diesel supply here in this
[00:28:38] area. Regarding gasoline, some gas stations
[00:28:40] have gasoline, as I told you, at this gas station. Some
[00:28:44] other gas stations do not have it, and the matter is also
[00:28:48] due to the poor quantities that arrived in the area,
[00:28:51] and therefore, some stations are refraining
[00:28:54] from selling such quantities, unless there is effectively a
[00:28:58] formal government decision that talks about
[00:29:01] the end of these poor
[00:29:04] deliveries. In fact, Dima, thank you very much, Ibrahim Sweid,
[00:29:08] Syria TV correspondent, you were with us from Idlib. And I thank Ibrahim
[00:29:11] Al-Khatib who was with us from
[00:29:13] Aleppo.
[00:29:17] The Syrian Petroleum Company stated that 15 tankers
[00:29:21] loaded with oil derivatives are currently in
[00:29:24] waiting areas to complete entry and unloading procedures through
[00:29:28] Syrian ports and terminals. The Syrian Oil Company explained
[00:29:31] in a statement to SANA that
[00:29:35] among the tankers, six are loaded with diesel
[00:29:39] and nine tankers are loaded with gasoline, indicating that
[00:29:43] these supplies come within the framework of continuous efforts to secure
[00:29:46] the needs of the local market and enhance the availability of
[00:29:50] oil derivatives.
[00:29:56] The General Authority for Ports and Customs announced
[00:29:59] the implementation of maintenance and repair work for 23
[00:30:03] ships in Banias port since the beginning of this year,
[00:30:06] including structural and mechanical repairs, and maintenance
[00:30:09] of engines and technical equipment, in addition to making
[00:30:13] technical modifications to some ships. The authority indicated
[00:30:17] the continuation of work to develop Banias port
[00:30:20] and raise its operational readiness, improve
[00:30:23] its services, and provide the necessary facilities for the movement of ships and
[00:30:26] oil tankers, which supports maritime transport activity
[00:30:29] and contributes to serving the Syrian economy.
[00:30:37] The Investment Authority discussed with a delegation from the American
[00:30:41] business community, comprising 30 representatives from
[00:30:44] 22 American, regional, and international companies
[00:30:47] and institutions, investment opportunities in a number of vital
[00:30:51] sectors in Syria. This came during a meeting between
[00:30:55] the Director of the Authority, Ahmed Rawad Ramadan, and the delegation in Damascus,
[00:30:59] where they discussed
