Deir Az Zor, May 31: Rescue teams in eastern Syria have evacuated several stranded farmers after floodwaters from the Euphrates River inundated large areas following a rise in water levels.

The city of Deir Az Zor was among the worst-hit regions, with flooding causing significant disruption to local communities and infrastructure.

Authorities said the overflowing river led to the collapse of a bridge, severing transport links and leaving several communities isolated. Rescue workers were deployed to affected areas to assist residents and farmers trapped by the rising waters.

The flooding has damaged agricultural land and hampered movement across parts of the region, raising concerns about the impact on livelihoods and access to essential services.

Emergency teams continue to monitor the situation and provide assistance to residents in affected areas as efforts to restore connectivity and assess the extent of the damage remain underway.
