The remaining six governorates recorded an increasing reference food basket price.

[ April 2021, Overall Syria ]  The gap between the highest and lowest average food basket prices shrank by five percent from SYP 69,288 in March 2021 to SYP 66,013 in April 2021. However, the gap increased by 296 percent since April 2020 highlighting continued supply chain disruptions across the country since last year, driven by increased fuel cost and an extremely volatile informal exchange rate.
[ April 2021, Overall Syria ]  The shortage of fuel in Syria is a result of many factors. In addition to the continued multilateral coercive measures on Syria, fuel is in short supply in Syria as many of the country's oil fields are not controlled by the Syrian Government. The situation got more severe from January 2021 onwards when fuel supplies coming from Northeast Syria were temporarily paused by the Syrian Democratic Forces. Moreover in early March 2021, a fuel refinery and market were attacked in northern Aleppo, the main entry point of fuel into the Government of Syria controlled area from Northeast Syria. Between 200 and 300 fuel trucks were destroyed in this attack. Moreover the Suez Canal blockage in mid March 2021 also meant that scheduled sea arrivals of fuel into Syria were delayed by over two weeks. As a result of limited availability and access to fuel, the Syrian Government implemented a series of measures to ensure managed distribution and use of the limited fuel supplies it had. This led to heavy queues at petrol stations and has severely affected the smooth running of many businesses and services. The situation became so difficult that side jobs were created as many people left their cars with roadside caretakers who would wait in the queues instead of them and look after the vehicles. In most governorates, not all stations were functioning, and the waiting times ranged from three hours in Quneitra to three days in As Sweida.
[ May 2021, NES ]  Of the 77% of CFPs that said community members would seek medical care in case they experienced Covid  19 symptoms like difficulty in breathing, loss of taste/smell and fever, the majority reported community members would go to private clinics ( 66% )  and then public hospitals ( 64% )  and regular health facilities ( 42% ) .
[ April 2021, Overall Syria ]  Petrol stations providing Octane 95 fuel are limited in number across Syria. For example, in Aleppo there is only one such petrol station and during the peak of the petrol crisis it was serviced infrequently, being open for one day and shut for the subsequent three to four days, depending on availability of fuel. Petrol stations with Octane 90 and/or Octane 95 have been operating on a daily basis since mid May as the Syrian Government agreed a deal with the Kurdish Administration for provision of petrol from Northeast Syria and received more shipments via the sea ports, hereby increasing the supply of fuel in the country and easing the pressure on petrol stations, at least temporarily.
[ February 2021, Overall Syria ]  The first recent decrease in diesel fuel allocations was in January 2021  ( 24 percent reduction in diesel ) . In February, the ministry announced that around 60 percent of Syrians had not received their fuel allocations for 2021, and heating diesel allocations had been halved from 400 litres/family to 200 litres/family.

[ June 2021, NES ]  Electricity for at least 3 million people depends on the Euphrates dams, which are at risk of inoperation. Alternatives are not viable for consistent use, as demonstrated in AlHasakeh governorate, where electricity is inconsistent and extremely limited. Water pumping station functionality is mainly dependent on hydro electricity, so continued rationing also means water insufficiency for communities across NES.
[ June 2021, NES ]  Farmers and livestock breeders in NES experience a wide range of challenges affecting access to livelihoods. Lack of rainfall and lowering water levels in rivers have resulted in significant levels of crop failure, loss of livestock and a shortage of animal feed. Rain fed crops are particularly hit this season but irrigated crops are also impacted by reduced electricity access and damaged infrastructure. Rising operational costs following market volatility exacerbates the situation with an increasing number of farmers unable to make ends meet.
[ June 2021, NES ]  The impact on irrigated crops is expected to be less severe with a projected loss of 40 45% of yields across NES. The lower impact can be attributed to relatively sufficient water availability at the start of the mid season  ( January February )  which is when crops need the most water. However, a continued decline in access to river water and electricity due to lowering levels of the Euphrates and a rise in fuel prices as well as aggravating factors such as damaged irrigation infrastructure are likely to affect the quality of irrigated crops.
[ June 2021, NES ]  A lack of sufficient irrigation water quantities in the public irrigation canals, dams, and lakes was reported by KIs as a challenge for farmers in 39% of communities assessed by REACH's RNA in June 2021.

[ June 2021, NES ]  The lack of rainfall and limited water access have disrupted livestock activities by reducing pastureland and deteriorating livestock body conditions, while the failure of barley crops decreased the availability of fodder. Low availability of forage is expected to drive up the cost of animal feed this season as fodder will either have to be sourced from Government of Syria  ( GoS )  areas or imported from abroad.
[ June 2021, NES ]  72% of assessed communities in which KIs reported crop damages as a barrier to accessing livelihoods, while high rates of livestock death reportedly impacted livelihoods in 14% of assessed communities.

[ June 2021, NES ]  Even if agricultural inputs were available, they were often unaffordable for farmers due to price increases following currency fluctuations.

[ June 2021, NES ]  Maintenance of machinery was reported to be unaffordable for farmers in 18% of assessed communities, while difficulties in accessing ploughing services and damaged irrigation systems were reported as challenges to farmers in 20% and 10% of assessed communities, respectively.
[ June 2021, NES ]  Rising operational costs forced farmers and livestock breeders to invest substantial financial resources throughout the season. Purchases of inputs and services are reportedly made in USD22, exposing farmers to the continued decreasing value of the SYP. As a result, farmers are increasingly unable to make the required investments to keep their operations functioning.
[ June 2021, NES ]  To mitigate the loss of this season's revenue, farmers and livestock breeders resorted to a number of coping strategies. Notably, farmers rented out drought affected land to livestock herders for grazing  ( reported in 76% of assessed communities ) , while livestock breeders turned to selling their livestock assets  ( reported in nearly 60% of assessed communities ) . However, for most farmers, neither strategy will be sufficient to make up for sustained losses nor to allow for activities in the upcoming seasons.
[ June 2021, NES ]  Unaffordability of food is not isolated to certain areas, with 94% of KIs across assessed locations in NES reporting unaffordability of food as a barrier to accessing sufficient food for IDPs and 88% for residents
