Landmine and war remnant blasts continue killing children across Syria
A boy died in Daraa and a girl died in southern Idlib this week from landmine and unexploded ordnance blasts, among several similar incidents reported by independent and Kurdish outlets. Mine-clearance teams in Ras al-Ain cleared over 300 mines but risks remain widespread.
In detail
Daraa 24 and Shaam News reported the death of 11-year-old Shadi Hilal al-Sabih from a landmine blast near Kharbet Ghazaleh, days after he and another boy were injured; both children were originally from Suwayda countryside. North Press reported a girl killed and a woman injured by war remnants in Kafr Sajna, southern Idlib, and separately two girls killed and two injured in Deir Ezzor's Maizileh village. Mine-clearance officials (Al-Ikhbariya) discussed ongoing challenges, while North Press noted clearance teams found over 300 mines around Ras al-Ain. These recurring incidents, consistent with the previous snapshot's narrative, continue to generate grief and calls for faster demining, though official coverage remains limited to brief technical updates.
