1 WHO Syria, Week 33, August 2018 General developments & political & security situation The security situation across the country remains volatile and unstable with the main hot spots in the governorates of As-Swieda, Deir Ez-Zor, Aleppo, and Idlib. In the northwest, following another week of increased violence; hostilities exacted a heavy toll on the civilian population. At least 134 people, including many children, were reportedly killed last weekend in Idleb, Hama and Aleppo Governorates. The conflict reportedly resulted in damage to the Ma ret An-Nu man National hospital, which impacted emergency services for two days. A Statement by Panos Moumtzis, Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis, on Civilian Casualties in Northwest Syria was issued over the reported deaths. In northeastern Syria, the UN voiced its concern about the safety and protection of civilians in rural Deir-Ez-Zor Governorate where fighting in Hajin and Dashesha reportedly displaced more than 20,000 people (4,630 families) since July after conflict between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Internally displaced people have reportedly settled in makeshift camps in the Governorate and are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. While humanitarian organizations are able to access some displacement camps, other camps have yet to receive humanitarian assistance. In southwestern Syria SAA continued its operation against ISIL positions in the east and north east rural As- Suwayda.
