Syria: Mines left over from the war cause more deaths

Damascus, Aug 10 (Prensa Latina) Some 30 civilians, including 14 children and a woman, were killed or injured in Syria in less than 10 days due to the blast of war remnants.

Sources cited by various media outlets point out that the victims include 12 dead, including nine children and one woman, while 18 civilians, including five minors, were injured.

According to data from human rights organizations, munitions left over from the conflict, including mines, improvised explosive devices, artillery shells, mortars, and cluster bombs, continue to pose a serious danger to the civilian population, hindering the return of displaced persons and threatening their daily lives.

Since January 2025, explosion incidents have caused the deaths of 499 people, including 143 children and 32 women, and injured 547 civilians, including 245 children and 14 women.

Local and international organizations have warned of the urgent need to document the incidents, identify the most contaminated areas, and strengthen cleanup operations, given the limited national response capacity and insufficient international attention to this problem.
