The UN's special envoy on Syria warns that the conflict in the country has been exacerbating the crises impacting it.

The people of Syrian continue to suffer in light of the ongoing war on the country, UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen said on Tuesday, adding that the political process was yet to deliver for civilians.

"Tragically, however, the political process has not so far delivered for the Syrian people and they continue to suffer, not least from acute violence," Pedersen told the UN Security Council.

"Even as the strategic stalemate persists, the conflict remains very active across Syria," the UN envoy added.

The conflict continues, contributing to the economic challenges in Syria, resulting in humanitarian suffering and a growing burden on livelihoods, the diplomat underlined, going on to comment on the country's ongoing cholera outbreak.

The recent cholera outbreak is spreading rapidly, he said, which underscores the need to find a solution to the dire water and health conditions in Syria.

Syria, just like neighboring Lebanon, has been hit with a cholera outbreak, but the situation in the east is far direr. As of October 23, Damascus has confirmed almost 1,000 cholera cases, with over 40 people dying from the disease.

Syria declared a cholera outbreak in the Aleppo Governorate back in September, with the first few cases emerging a month prior. Across Syria, 13,000 suspected cholera cases have been reported.

Cholera is n acute bacterial infection that is transmitted via contaminated foods or water. 

If left untreated, the disease can be fatal, with the main symptom being severe diarrhea. Most people, however, recover after exhibiting mild symptoms with the help of oral rehydration.

Syrian state media has accused over and over again US and SDF armed groups of smuggling resources to Iraq and then siphoning them out of there.

The United States has been for years supporting SDF armed groups, and the US-backed forces are currently controlling parts of the provinces of Al-Haskah, Deir Ezzor, and Raqqa, where the largest Syrian oil and gas fields are located. The actions carried out by the United States constitute state piracy with the aim of plundering Syria's oil resources.

On May 16, the US-led "international coalition" began a new repositioning process in Syria, roughly two and a half years after former President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria, which he later retracted and deployed instead his oil-thirsty occupation forces in areas where oil and gas fields are found. 

Syrian civilians have long been resisting the US occupation of their country, with locals preventing US military convoys from entering their cities and villages all over Syria.
