CONTEXT OVERVIEW Insecurity in southern Syria continues to affect areas across Quneitra Governorate and adjacent areas of Dar’a and Rural Damascus Governorates, covering 11 sub-districts in Dar’a (Ash-Shajara, Jasim, Nawa, Tassil), Quneitra (Al-Khashniyyeh, Fiq, Khan Arnaba, Quneitra), and Rural Damascus (Bait Jan, Qatana, Sa’sa’). These areas face a fragile and volatile security environment, compounded by climate-related pressures, years of underdevelopment and neglect and deteriorating socio-economic conditions. Despite broader political developments since late 2024, communities remain exposed to increased Israeli military activity along the ceasefire line, and localized tensions, which continue to disrupt civilian movement, limit access to agricultural land, and undermine livelihoods. On 2 June 2026, OCHA facilitated an inter-agency mission to Quneitra Governorate, bringing together 50 participants from UN agencies, international and national NGOs. The mission covered seven locations across the governorate and assessed humanitarian conditions, access constraints and priority needs through consultations with local authorities, communities and service providers. Key observations from this mission are reflected throughout this snapshot.
