In addition, the snowfall caused traffic problems in many parts of the Middle East, and in some places the vaccination of Covid 19 was also halted. Similarly, educational institutions remained closed in some countries. The Syrian capital, Damascus, was also covered in snow, with more than 15 cm of snow recorded in some places.
