A woman, identified as Khatoun al-Abdullah al-Thaher from Ghanem al-Ali village in eastern rural Raqqa governorate, was injured on April 14, 2024, by the explosion of a landmine of as yet unidentified source while gathering desert truffles in the badiya ‘desert’ of Ma’dan city in eastern Raqqa governorate. Khatoun had to have one of her legs amputated due to her injury. 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 landmine explosions, which pose a serious, long-term threat, especially to children, that will last for years to come.
