The Syrian Ministry of Health announced the immediate dispatch of a fully equipped medical convoy to Suwayda Governorate, following recent security developments in the southern region.
In an official statement, the ministry said the convoy includes 20 advanced ambulances accompanied by highly specialized and ready-to-deploy medical teams, as well as large quantities of emergency medications and supplies.
“This deployment is part of our national and professional duty to ensure the continuity of health services for all Syrians,” the statement read. The convoy will depart within hours, following direct coordination with the Governor of Suwayda, and in response to the need to establish safe humanitarian corridors.
Ceasefire Takes Effect in Suwayda
The move comes after the Syrian presidency announced a ceasefire agreement on Saturday evening between Bedouin tribes and local Druze factions in Suwayda, following days of unrest.
All parties were urged to adhere strictly to the agreement, with accountability measures in place for any violations. The deal includes a 48-hour implementation window, after which the situation will be reevaluated.
Later the same day, Interior Ministry spokesperson Noureddin Al-Baba confirmed that all tribal fighters had been evacuated from Suwayda, and that all internal clashes had ceased.
The dispatch of the medical convoy underscores the Syrian government’s efforts to stabilize the area and respond to urgent humanitarian needs as the ceasefire agreement begins to take effect.
