Key Messages • Median prices for several key commodities increased compared to February JMMI figures, with particularly sharp rises in diesel prices of +41.6% in Al-Hasakeh and +31.4% in Deir-ez-Zor. While these increases may reflect post-flood price pressures, they should be interpreted cautiously, as broader regional developments since March, especially affecting fuel markets, likely contributed to higher costs across supply chains. • Most vendors (over 70%) reported full availability of all monitored item categories, with only limited gaps noted by smaller proportions. Complete unavailability was rare, reported only for transportation fuels by 11% of vendors in Al-Hasakeh, concentrated in Al Thawra and Al Matar Janoubi neighbourhoods. • Markets largely remained operational after the floods, with no reported decline in the number of active vendors. However, 55% of vendors faced at least one operational challenge, most commonly high supplier purchase prices limiting restocking and increased transport or logistics costs. • Across Al-Hasakeh and Deir-ez-Zor, 64% of assessed vendors reported that flooding hindered physical access to markets, affecting the ability of both customers and traders to reach marketplaces. Severe access constraints were less common (7%) and concentrated in a limited number of communities, notably Siyal, Hura, and Sweiyeh in Deir-ez-Zor, as well as Zbaa in Al-Hasakeh. • Supply chains remained largely functional following the floods, with 53% of vendors reporting normal conditions and 44% only minor disruptions. However, challenges were more pronounced in Deir-ez-Zor, where all reported major disruptions (3%) were concentrated and 37% of vendors faced restocking difficulties, while 94% of vendors in Al-Hasakeh reported no restocking issues.
