Child killed by a landmine of unidentified source in eastern Deir Ez-Zour governorate, February 20, 2023

Jehad Yassin al-Hamad, 16-year-old child from al-Dwair village in the eastern suburbs of Deir Ez-Zour governorate, he was killed on February 20, 2023 in the badiya of Dwair village by a landmine whose source we have not been able to identify.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information.

We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities to protect civilians in their areas, and to locate and remove landmines planted in these areas.

We have recorded hundreds of deaths and injuries from the explosion of landmines, which pose a long-term, serious threat, especially to children, which will last for years to come.
