Syrian Ports Authority Closes All Ports Except Tartus Due to Weather Conditions

The Syrian Ministry of Transport confirmed today, Wednesday, that the Ports Authority has closed all ports, including the commercial port in Tartus, due to weather conditions. It is noted that the Syrian state manages seven maritime ports, through which essential supplies, including food and petroleum products, are delivered. Severe winds have also led to the collapse of several towers on the main power line supplying the province of Sweida, causing a power outage there, according to the official Syrian television.
