A woman, named as Mrs. Iman Ibrahim al Mawwas, was killed on July 15, 2020, when a landmine of so-far unknown origin exploded near al Sheikh Naser village located in the north of al Bab city in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo governorate. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines and to remove them. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
