Syria’s civil war has become the second-deadliest war of the 21st century since March 2011. The ongoing war led to 5.7 million people fleeing Syria, with over 6 million internally displaced in 2019. Syria’s continued conflict, civil upheaval, and widespread violent crime, such as robberies, assaults, carjackings, and kidnappings, contribute to its present GPI (Global Peace Index) of 3.356. Armed warfare exists primarily between the government and rebel groups, with little to no rule of law or order outside Juba, the country’s capital.
Travel Advisory: Level 4- Do not travel
