Syria Burned Area Index: July 2025

The July 2025 edition of Syria Burned Area Index reveals burn scars in four Syrian governorates, primarily concentrated along the coast.

Burned Area by Governorate (Hectares): July (2016–2025).

Key Highlights

• Decade-High Burns in Latakia: Latakia recorded over 12000 hectares of burned land, the highest total for the governorate in July over the past decade.

• Minimal Burns Elsewhere: Burn scars detected in other governorates were negligible in comparison. Rif Dimashq, Ar-Raqqah, and Al-Qunaitra had small, localized burn scars, totaling only 141 hectares combined.

• Most of the Country Was Unaffected: A vast majority of Syria, 10 out of 14 governorates, recorded no satellite-detected burn scars.
