Seven children injured or killed in just one week.

In just one week, 12 landmine and unexploded bomb incidents were recorded across seven areas of Syria.  

Fifteen civilians were killed or injured.  

Seven of them were children.

Years of conflict have left communities across Syria living with the threat of landmines and unexploded bombs. 

These deadly items can remain hidden in farmland, beneath rubble, beside roads and in residential areas, putting people at risk as they return home, rebuild communities and go about their daily lives. 

In Idlib, North West Syria, four children were injured when an unexploded bomb detonated. In Hama, a man was injured while grazing livestock. In Homs, another child was injured in a farming area.  

The threat is especially dangerous for children, who may not recognise an explosive item or understand the risk it poses. 

Helping communities live more safely.  

MAG works with communities affected by conflict to reduce the danger from landmines and unexploded bombs, helping people understand the risks and working to make land safer.  

This work can mean the difference between living with constant fear and being able to farm, travel and move forward more safely.  

The dangers faced by communities in Syria are immediate and ongoing. 

People are living with the instability caused by conflict and with explosive hazards that can remain hidden long after the conflict ends.  

Your support can help MAG continue this vital work, helping communities understand the risks around them and making land safer for families.  

Every donation helps support MAG’s work with communities affected by conflict.  

Together, we can help to reduce the threat from landmines and unexploded bombs and give families the chance to live, work and rebuild more safely.
