According to data from the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resource, #Syria produced around 80300 barrels of oil per day in 2022. Only around 14200 barrels were sent to the country’s oil refinery, which means over 83 percent of Syria’s oil output is missing.

The Syrian Arab News Agency reported at least 7 cases of large convoys of U.S. tankers with stolen #Syrianoil in 2022. Bouthaina Shaaban, the media adviser to the President of Syria, said the U.S. had made #Syria, an oil-producing country, suffer from natural resource shortages.

#Syria said #oil and wheat are regularly taken out of the country and sold abroad by the U.S., depriving millions of Syrians as they suffer the effect of crippling U.S. #sanctions. British journalist Vanessa Beeley catogorized the U.S. actions as economic terrorism.#syrianrefugee
