Ain al-Fijah (Arabic: عين الفيجة, also spelled Ayn al-Fijeh and Ein Al Fejeh) is a small town in southern Syria, administratively part of the Rif Dimashq Governorate, located 25 kilometers northwest of Damascus.

[5] In 1924 Syrian businessmen Lutfi al-Haffar and Abd al-Wahab al-Qanawati founded the Ain al-Fijah Company, which would use water from the spring for irrigation purposes.

The commission said it had found no evidence of deliberate contamination of the water supply or demolition by armed groups, as the Syrian government maintained at the time.

[9] Activists in Barada had said that the government and their Russian allies bombed the facility, puncturing the fuel depots and contaminating the water stream.

Syrian government workers entered the town to begin restoring water to the capital after weeks of shortages, and the plan was to fix it in three days.

The conference concluded on 24 January, with Bashar Jaafari, the U.N. envoy representing the Syrian government, insisting that the ceasefire beginning in December 2016 did not apply to the territory of Wadi Barada because of the presence of terrorists, something which the rebel opposition denied.
