This report describes the situation when it was prepared (2026). Figures and conditions may have changed since.
Summary
National update to the 29 October assessment, based on material reviewed up to 30 October 2026. It reports the ministry's casualty and rescue figures, shows where each of the 14 governorates stands (reported impact, weather exposure, or no verified tally), and details displacement and broken links in Ar-Raqqa, road, communications and rescue reports in Deir Ezzor, and the corridor emergency in Homs and the Badia. It closes with the priorities the next update must resolve.
Like the 29 October assessment, it keeps reporting limits visible. A governorate with no verified tally is an information gap, not zero damage; an easing forecast is not proof that a crossing is safe; and counts from different reporting cut-offs are not combined. Road, casualty and search statuses can change after publication.
What the update covers
- What changed since 29 October: reported deaths, missing people and rescues, and a new closure notice for the Deir Ezzor–Damascus road
- All 14 governorates, separating reported impact from weather exposure and from areas with no verified tally
- Ar-Raqqa: about 375 families who left affected camps, damaged crossings and the Kasrat Surour earth crossing
- Deir Ezzor: road cuts, fibre-optic damage at al-Sukhna and al-Kubar, and rescues
- Homs and the Badia: stranded vehicles and closed desert corridors
- Four priorities for the next update: protect life and referrals, check displaced households, restore services safely, and build a consistent damage register
