'Cautious calm' reported in southern Syria after week of deadly tribal clashes
A "cautious calm" has settled in southern Syria's Suweida following deadly tribal clashes. Over 1,000 have died in the violence, leading to a severe shortage of medical supplies. Syrian president announced a ceasefire, bringing some respite as local Druze fighters regained control and tensions eased, though the humanitarian situation remains dire with urgent need for aid in Suweida.
