    The impacts of the 2024/25 drought in the Syrian Arab Republic are pushing rural communities to the brink, compounding one of the world’s largest food security crises. With rainfall 54 percent below average and widespread crop failure, farming households are unable to cultivate their lands, pastoral systems are collapsing and livestock-keeping households are rapidly depleting their coping mechanisms. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks USD 66.61 million to support 123 400 households (617 000 people) with time-critical agricultural assistance to safeguard livelihoods, restore food production and enhance resilience to future shocks. This document outlines the impact of the crisis on agricultural livelihoods and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.
