On the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action: Landmines Continue to Plague Large Areas of Syria and Threaten the Lives of Millions [EN/AR]

Fadel Abdul Ghany, Executive Director of SNHR, says: “Pinpointing the locations of minefields in Syria requires massive efforts. It is our hope that the maps we’ve included in this report can be useful, so civilians can avoid traveling through or working in land in these areas, while the controlling forces should fence off those areas and seriously work on removing landmines. Donor states should also pay more attention to this crucial issue.”
