Weekly Data Update (March 18-25, 2025)

Israeli escalation raises serious concerns; while violence across Syria returns to average post-Assad levels, with 87 deaths in a week.

The level of violence in Syria returned to the average seen prior to the March 7 surge in killings on the coast — with 87 violent deaths reported across the country over the seven-day reporting period (March 18-25). Thirty percent of those deaths were caused by unexploded ordinance (UXO), which remains a persistent and very significant threat to civilian life in at least eight of Syria’s 14 governorates.
