Water crisis hinders stability of returnees to Jabal al-Amour in Homs badia

Homs, Syria ·

Residents of Jabal al-Amour who have returned to their homes in the Homs badia are struggling to get drinking water because artesian wells have stopped working. They have to travel up to 35 km to reach water, and essential services, especially schools, are lacking in the area.

The Badia is an arid steppe region in central Syria, and many of its residents were displaced by the country's civil war that began in 2011. Some have been gradually returning to their homes.
