War debris causes 130 deaths in Syria
From March 1 to June 1, 2026, reports from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs revealed the deaths of 130 Syrians and injuries to 322 others due to remnants of war. The data showed 268 incidents related to unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants, resulting in 452 casualties, most of which occurred in agricultural and pastoral areas, especially during daily activities like farming and transportation. Landmine clearance experts are working to survey and clear affected areas, reducing risks to local populations, though incidents continue despite clearance efforts. Since the start of the conflict in 2011, war remnants including mines have killed approximately 3,799 civilians. Safety threats persist even after the fall of the regime in 2024, with increased displacement and heightened agricultural activity in contaminated areas. Additionally, over 110,000 mines have been dismantled or destroyed since the beginning of the year in an effort to secure lands and facilitate the reconstruction of affected regions.
