The residents of a number of villages in  Deir Ezzor desert, including Abu Al-Fayyad, Abu Kbaira, Al-Amaya, Al-Saiha, Al-Habshaniyah, Harmalan, Irbit Anzu, and Bayoud, suffer from a severe shortage of basic services, amid repeated complaints of marginalization that has affected their areas over the past years.

The residents explained that their villages lack the basic necessities of life, in light of the clear absence of service and development projects, which made the area appear as if it is “outside the Syrian map” in terms of government and service attention.

Residents pointed out that their suffering is manifested in poor water and electricity services, poor roads, in addition to the absence of health care and medical services, which increases the difficulty of daily life, especially with the area’s distance from city centers.

The residents called on the concerned authorities to conduct a field tour to the area to see directly the reality of the villages and the extent of the needs, stressing that field check may contribute to developing practical solutions to the severe shortage of services and improving the living conditions of the residents.
