'Complete halt': Syrian govt services disrupted after Assad ouster
Wednesday, 11 December 2024 () Syrian rebels, led by a former al-Qaida member, overthrew President Assad, prompting a return of refugees and a halt in public services. Israel launched airstrikes on suspected weapons sites, while Turkey's allies captured Manbij from Kurdish forces. Russia granted Assad asylum as Syrians celebrated in the streets and searched for missing loved ones.
The public sector “has just come to a complete and abrupt halt," said U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria Adam Abdelmoula, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs.
