- A preliminary statistic revealed that more than 185,000 male and female students have registered to study in Kurdish in the governorates of Hasakah, Aleppo, Damascus, and Hama, as protests continue against the Syrian Ministry of Education’s decision to limit Kurdish-language instruction to only three classes per week.

- Families in the city of Derik, as in other parts of Syria, face mounting economic pressures amid sharp increases in the prices of diesel, food, and basic necessities. This has reduced their purchasing power, particularly among low- and middle-income families, as winter approaches and they struggle to cover heating costs and daily needs amid limited employment opportunities and low wages. (Photos and video attached.)

- Residents in Hasakah complained about rising fuel prices and living costs, noting that the price of a heating diesel barrel could reach 3.2 million Syrian pounds. They said the increase has made it increasingly difficult to secure heating fuel as winter approaches and called for lower prices and improved basic services. (Photos and video attached.)

- As the deadlines for autumn plowing and preparations for the new agricultural season approach, thousands of farmers in the Jazira region find themselves unable to prepare their land due to a liquidity crisis caused by the transitional government’s delay in paying farmers their dues and wheat crop invoices from the previous season, alongside record increases in fuel prices.
