Key takeaway People are relying more on family and local connections for support.
In Syria, community relationships are changing. People are relying more on family and local connections for support. This is especially true in areas that have been heavily affected by conflict and displacement.
National identity still holds emotional importance for many, but its practical significance has decreased. Instead, daily life and trust are centered around smaller, more immediate groups. Further information on the current state of social cohesion in Syria can be found through ReliefWeb, which provides more details on the complex and context-dependent nature of community relationships in the area.
