In Syria, due to US sanctions, there are serious problems in the pharmaceutical industry. This was reported on Saturday, January 8, by a Izvestia source.
Factory workers have to manually sort through the plates with drugs and weed out the waste, although robots were doing this before the war.
Difficulties also arise with the supply of raw materials and equipment.
According to the director of the pharmaceutical factory Fadi Fanari, sometimes they cannot find the necessary raw materials, so sometimes they have to wait for an order up to six months. If equipment breaks down in production, then because of the sanctions it is impossible to buy spare parts directly.
Earlier, on December 7, the United States imposed sanctions on a number of Syrian military personnel, including those related to intelligence. Then five persons fell under the sanctions.
According to the US Treasury Department, they were involved in chemical weapons attacks. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have suffered as a result of such attacks against civilians. On this day, the SANA agency, citing sources, said that the US military had abducted several civilians during a landing operation in the province of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria. It was noted that the soldiers also destroyed several residential buildings.
In May, US President Joe Biden extended sanctions against Syria for a year. Thus, various restrictive measures introduced by Washington in stages since 2004 remain: for example, blocking individuals and legal entities under US jurisdiction and a ban on the export of American-made goods and services to Syria.
