Landmine Accidents Syria – “It Is Like a Flood”
Syria is facing a humanitarian emergency. We must act fast.
Across Syria, the frontlines have shifted. Following the collapse of the Assad regime, families are starting to return to the places they once called home, only to find them littered with hidden explosives. Too often, it's inquisitive children who fall victim to these hidden killers.
One international security monitor has recorded some 900 victims, many of them children, since December.
"We used to deal with war injuries. We thought it was over but now we have another war to deal with."
