A boy, identified as 10-year-old Ahmad al-Ibrahim from al-Sour town in northern rural Deir Ez-Zour governorate, was injured on January 19, 2024, by the explosion of a war remnant whose source we have not yet been able to identify while he was in an abandoned house in Abu al-Hassan town in eastern rural Deir Ez-Zour governorate. He was transferred to a hospital for treatment.
The area is under the control of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). 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.
