Syria is on the brink of a major food crisis. As the country reels from nearly 14 years of war, an unprecedented drought is pushing more than 16 million people toward food insecurity in 2025. The worst climate conditions in 60 years have crippled wheat production across nearly 2.5 million hectares of farmland, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

In both government- and Kurdish-controlled regions, producers are scrambling for a shrinking harvest, raising fears of famine, instability, and a deeper humanitarian crisis. With wheat output falling millions of tonnes short of national needs, Syria's dependence on imports is expected to soar  even as its economy continues to collapse.

Syria’s wheat war leaves 16 million people facing hunger as drought and conflict devastate crops.
