Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria. In February 2026 a community advocacy group emailed Esri to request that access be restored for users in Syria, citing the 2025 lifting of sanctions and the importance of GIS tools for environmental monitoring and reconstruction. No response from the company has been recorded, and the block remains in place.
