A boy, identified as 13-year-old Taha Nu’man al-Turki from Mazra’et Hawwa village in the eastern suburbs of Idlib governorate, was killed by the explosion of a landmine whose source we have not yet been able to identify while collecting shaflah crops with other workers in Um al-Khlakhiel area in the eastern suburbs of Idlib.

The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces. The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.

We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in areas under their control, and to locate and remove landmines planted in these areas. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from the explosions of landmines, which pose a serious, long-term threat, especially to children, which will last for years to come.
