The Syrian Future Movement is following with grave concern and condemnation the images circulating on social media and reliable news sources on Sunday, May 17, 2026, showing an unprecedented accumulation of waste in the streets and neighborhoods of Aleppo. This has resulted in foul odors and serious health and environmental damage affecting the daily lives of citizens. Videos also show medical waste from Aleppo University Hospital being mixed with regular garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement holds the local government in Aleppo and the city council responsible for this serious deterioration in sanitation. It considers this a failure to fulfill the state’s fundamental duty towards its citizens. We demand that those responsible be held accountable immediately and transparently, that these piles of waste be removed immediately, and that a rapid emergency plan be put in place to prevent a recurrence of this disaster in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement reiterates its consistent positions, published on its official website, which emphasize the importance of good governance, transparency, and accountability as fundamental pillars for building a new Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
