On September 20, 2024, a man, identified as 37-year-old Ahmad Abdul Ghany Abdul Rahman from Taybat al Imam city in northern rural Hama governorate, and his 14-year-old daughter named Sedra, were injured by the explosion of a war remnant of unidentified source while working in an agricultural land near M’arkebba village in northern Hama governorate. The two were transferred to a hospital for treatment. 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 to safely dispose of the various explosive remnants. We have also recorded the use of anti-personnel landmines (APLs) by Syrian regime forces, posing a serious threat to anyone in the vicinity, especially children, for years to come. We have recorded hundreds of injuries that resulted from cluster munition remnants. The international community must intervene to protect the civilians in Syria from the ongoing bloodbath.
