ICRC engineers support maintenance of Syrian dam

The International Committee of the Red Cross in Syria (ICRC) has been supporting a team of engineers carrying out "urgent assessments" and maintenance work to the Tishreen Dam, a critical dam which supplies drinking water and electricity to eastern Syria.

The new Syrian government has taken control of the site, which was previously controlled by Kurdish SDF fighters with support from the US.
