Years of bombardment and siege have exhausted the infrastructure in Deir Ezzor, leaving behind shattered walls and fading memories Today, the Euphrates River has risen to its highest level in three decades. Its dams opened for the first time in over 30 years, flooding fragile homes, destroying crops, and putting bridges out of service. Families are left without shelter, food, or clean water.
Deir Ezzor has endured years of bombardment and siege that left its infrastructure exhausted - weakened homes, fragile water systems, and communities with little left to fall back on. Now a new disaster has struck: the Euphrates River has risen to its highest level in over thirty years, and its dams were opened for the first time in three decades. The result has been devastating - homes flooded, crops destroyed, bridges put out of service, and families left without shelter, food, or clean water.
The "Deir Ezzor Response" campaign meets the crisis with direct, immediate relief targeting the three most urgent needs families face right now. We provide emergency shelter - tents and repair materials - so families who lost their homes to the floodwaters have a safe place to sleep. We distribute food baskets to households whose crops and stored supplies were destroyed, keeping families fed through the weeks ahead. And we deliver clean drinking water and hygiene supplies to protect families.
Beyond meeting the immediate emergency, the "Deir Ezzor Response" campaign lays the groundwork for families to recover and rebuild. By stabilizing households in the critical first weeks - keeping them sheltered, fed, and safe from disease - we prevent the deeper, lasting harm that a crisis like this can cause: prolonged displacement, children pulled out of school, families forced to sell what little they have left, and the spread of illness through communities with no clean water.
