Summary:

"Throughout the eight-year-long conflict in Syria, the movement of people and goods -- including vital foodstuffs, medicines, equipment, and fuel -- has often been severely restricted by periods of prolonged fighting. Yet in many areas, local arrangements, historical circumstances, and key actors have facilitated trade and movement across the lines of conflict. This report examines four cross-line areas in Syria and draws lessons for how these local dynamics might affect the resolution of the larger conflict and these communities in the long term" -- Publisher's web site.
