Özet

ABSTRACT This study aims to build new infrastructure, reduce environmental pollution, consider the spread of health centers to contain any infectious diseases, and study the impact of the large population influx in the country from all parts of the world. The effect of the war on environmental resources and neighboring countries will be investigated. In 2011, the war in Syria was not only a war against people, but rather it was one against all kinds of life and the environment, including water, plants, animals, and trees. Its impact on the Syrian environment has been devastating. International organizations are making efforts to limit the effects of weapon contamination, two elements that include weapon contamination in their accounts and accompany intended activities while planning all operations such as rescue operations, economic security, water and sanitation, health, and protection of civilians around the world helping victims of gun contamination, such as physical rehabilitation, surgeries, and economic security programs. Among the most critical impacts of the Syrian war on the environment is the burning of oil wells, the discharge of chemical and radioactive materials from factories, facilities and warehouses, water pollution resulting from the destruction of sewage treatment systems, and floods and droughts after the collapse of dams and irrigation systems. There are also physical or chemical influences on vegetation cover, and this category including erosion, regrowth, and desertification. The conflict in Syria leads to climate contribution to armed conflict to show that environmental terrorism is particularly effective on people living in drought regions. Therefore, the increasing climate pressure on resources will increase the use of ecological terrorism and contribute to migration and human insecurity between regions.
