Debris removal operations began today, Sunday, in the areas of Salamiyah, Suran, and Saqilbiyah in the countryside of Hama, continuing the debris removal project launched by the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management in cooperation with the Hama Governorate. These operations come within the framework of a campaign aimed at removing debris left by the shelling of the ousted regime and its allies, opening roads, and facilitating the movement of citizens, thereby contributing to improving the service reality and enhancing public safety in the targeted areas.
The Ministry clarified that the implementation of these operations comes within the framework of Decree No. 59 of 2026, aimed at rehabilitating damaged areas and preparing suitable conditions for the return of residents to their original areas. It noted that its war debris removal and mine countermeasures teams conducted field surveys and assessments of the targeted areas before starting debris removal operations, with the aim of detecting war remnants and unexploded objects and dealing with them, ensuring the safety of personnel and preparing a safe working environment.
Many villages and cities in the Hama countryside suffer widespread destruction in homes, roads, and infrastructure due to shelling by the ousted regime as a result of their stance with the Syrian Revolution. President Ahmed al-Sharaa had issued Decree No. 59 of 2026 on March 10 last year, establishing a committee chaired by the Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, tasked with working on rehabilitating infrastructure in destroyed areas in preparation for the return of residents.
The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management had previously launched, in cooperation with the Hama Governorate, on March 1 last year, a comprehensive campaign to remove more than half a million cubic meters of debris from main and secondary roads, squares, and public buildings in several areas of the governorate's countryside.
