A 50-year-old woman, identified as Nadya al-Jgheiman, and her 14-year-old son, Hamad Shaher al-Jgheiman, members of the Bedouin tribes in al-Laja area in eastern Daraa governorate, were killed on September 9, 2023, by the explosion of a war remnant whose source we have not been able to identify while working in a tomato field to the north of Jasim city in northern rural Daraa governorate.
The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces. The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that war remnants continue to pose a serious threat to civilians’ lives.
We have released numerous reports on cluster munitions and other war remnants, calling for securing equipment to help local residents safely dispose of the various explosive remnants.
