    P a g e | 1 P a g e | 2 P a g e | 3 THE POLITICAL ECONOMY And ITS SOCIAL RAMIFICATIONS IN THREE SYRIAN CITIES: TARTOUS, Qamishli and Azaz Economic developments and humanitarian aid throughout the years of the conflict, and their effect on the value chains of different products and their interrelation with economic, political and administrative factors. January 2021 P a g e | 4 KEY MESSAGES • The three studied cities are located in different areas of control: Tartous is under the existing Syrian authority, Azaz is within the “Euphrates Shield” areas controlled by Turkey and the armed “opposition” factions loyal to it, and most of Qamishli is under the authority of the “Syrian Democratic Forces” and the “Self-Administration” emanating from it. Each of these regions has its own characteristics in terms of the "political war economy". • After ten years of conflict, the political economy in Syria today differs significantly from its pre-conflict conditions due to specific mechanisms that resulted from the war, the actual division of the country, and unilateral measures (sanctions). • An economic and financial crisis had hit all regions of Syria in 2020, in line with the Lebanese crisis. This led to a significant collapse in the exchange rate of the Syrian pound and a significant increase in inflation. This crisis destabilized the networks of production and marketing of goods and services, within each area of control and between these areas, and then the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated this deterioration. • This crisis affected the living conditions of the population. The monthly minimum survival expenditure basket (SMEB) defined by aid agencies for an individual amounted to 45 working days of salaries for an unskilled worker in Azaz, 37 days in Tartous and 22 days in Qamishli.

This is done through collecting, analyzing and sharing information on the humanitarian situation in Syria. To this end, the Assistance Coordination Unit through the Information Management Unit established a wide net- work of enumerators who have been recruited depending on specific criteria such as education level, association with information sources and ability to work and communicate under various conditions. IMU collects data that is difficult to reach by other active international aid actors, and pub- lishes different types of information products such as Need Assessments, Thematic Reports, Maps, Flash Reports, and Interactive Reports. 2 Field Developments in Idleb, Northern Hama Countryside, Western Situation Report and Southern Aleppo Countryside During March and April 2019 May 2019 During March and April 2019 3 Field Developments in Idleb, Northern Hama Countryside, Western and Southern Aleppo Countryside During March and April 2019 01.

The regime bombed 14 medical points, including hospitals and dispensaries; five schools, including a kinder- garten; four camps for IDPs; three bakeries and two centers for civil defense, in addition to more than a dozen of shells that targeted the Civil Defense volunteers during the evacuation of the injured and the victims.

Hostilities elsewhere, however, remain ongoing. Attacks by pro-government forces in Idlib and western Aleppo Governorates, and those carried out by the Syrian Democratic Forces and the international coalition in Dayr al-Zawr Governorate, continue to cause scores of civilian casualties. In the aftermath of bombardments, civilians countrywide suffered the effects of a general absence of the rule of law. Numerous civilians were detained arbitrarily or abducted by members of armed groups and criminal gangs and held hostage for ransom in their strongholds in Idlib and northern Aleppo. Similarly, with the conclusion of Operation Olive Branch by Turkey in March 2018, arbitrary arrests and detentions became pervasive throughout Afrin District (Aleppo). In areas recently retaken by pro-government forces, including eastern Ghouta (Rif Dimashq) and Dar’a Governorate, cases of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance were perpetrated with impunity. After years of living under siege, many civilians in areas recaptured by pro-government forces also faced numerous administrative and legal obstacles to access key services.

  • THE FUEL SECTOR of NORTHWEST SYRIA Untangling the Web for Humanitarians DECEMBER 2019
    THE FUEL SECTOR OF NORTHWEST SYRIA Untangling the web for humanitarians DECEMBER 2019 1 / 22 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fuel sector in Syria has changed radically since the outbreak of the Syrian conict in 2011. In the past nine years, the sector has transitioned from a market strictly regulated by the Syrian government, to one completely driven by the forces of demand, supply and the status of supply lines. As the conict erupted the Syrian Petroleum Storage and Distribution Company (SADCOB), the sole distributor of gasoline, diesel and gas in Syria, suspended operations and withdrew from areas beyond the Government of Syria’s control. Domestic oil reserves in the northeast were separated from the distribution network based in Damascus. The nation’s infrastructure and economy, 95% reliant on fossil fuels prior to 2011, was left at the whim of smuggling across lines of control, cross-border trade navigating extensive sanctions, and ongoing changes in suppliers, leading to signicant supply and price uctuations. The fuel sector in northwest Syria epitomised this volatility. Longstanding public dissatisfaction with fuel prices, poor fuel quality, and inconsistent availability provided the Syrian Salvation Government an opportunity to intervene in the lucrative sector. Less than six months after the establishment of the Salvation Government, the Watad petroleum company emerged. Since 2018, Watad fuel company, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and the Salvation Government 2 / 22 have worked together to gain complete control of the fuel sector in northwest Syria. Not only is Watad the only company permitted to import petroleum into the area from Turkey, it has also worked with HTS to consolidate control of the crossline and smuggled fuel trade, from both Government of Syria and Kurdish self-administration (KSA) areas.
