I've just added a few streets in Saboura near Damascus after I went for a walk there earlier today.
Strange thing though... I can't access OSM normally here in Syria today (I get a "server isn't responding" time out), but if I access via an onion router (so that it appears that I'm accessing from somewhere in Europe) then no problems.
Seems that traffic to/from Syria is being ignored or blocked somewhere? Normally the ISP here tells you if they're blocking a site, so is this happening on the OSM server? Hope it's not Americans playing around with export control, since that would avoid the point of opensource?

It could be just a routing issue, I don't think that the this is blocked on the Openstreetmap/Europe(USA side.
You should try a tracert to see where the packets are lost.

i think you're right... did a traceroute and it's stalling at the following:
17 * ucl.lmn.net.uk (194.83.102.82) 241.779 ms *
bit annoying and hope if gets fixed... should i contact anyone?
