A 15-year-old boy, Wahid Mohammad Qasem, from Hendarat Camp in Aleppo city, died on March 10, 2022 due to wounds sustained on March 9, 2022 in the explosion of a landmine planted by unknown parties inside al Orouba School in Jub al Qebba neighborhood in Aleppo city; he and other children were playing in the school yard at the time.
The explosion also damaged the school property in its vicinity. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses for more details on the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to assume their responsibility for protecting civilians in areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines, and to remove them.
We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real and lethal threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
