Silent killer affects Syrians every 6 hours
The article addresses the ongoing issue of war remnants and landmines that continue to pose a persistent threat in Syria over 13 years after the conflict began. Every six hours, remnants of undetonated devices claim lives, resulting in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people, including many children. Data indicates that the actual toll is higher than the recorded figures, and demining operations face significant challenges such as resource shortages, uncharted mines, and the expanding contaminated areas. These obstacles delay recovery and reconstruction efforts. To date, approximately 200,000 square meters of destroyed areas have been cleared, but teams still struggle to accurately identify contaminated zones. It is estimated that at least a decade will be needed to complete the clearance, while the persistent danger continues to hinder displacement, rebuilding, and development efforts.
