Old ordnance| Explosions kill child in rural Aleppo camps, and injure others in rural Idlib

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has documented today the death of a child by an artillery shell explosion, while he was tampering with it in the Akhtarin camp in northern Aleppo countryside.

On the other hand, several people have sustained injuries of varying severity, as a landmine from earlier shelling exploded on the town of Al-Bara in Jabal al-Zawiya in southern Idlib countryside.

An increasing number of people killed recently by a landmine, unexploded bombs, and collapse of war-damaged residential buildings in various Syrian areas and cities such as Homs, Hama Deir Ezzor, Aleppo, and southern Syria.

The Syrian Observatory has documented since January 2019 to date some 339 fatalities, including 66 women and 101 children. Of the total number, the Syrian Observatory documented the deaths of 45 people, including 30 women and five children, in their search and collect for “Syrian wild truffles”, which put their lives at risk, “Syrian wild truffles” grow in areas that are exposed to heavy rains and are sold at high prices.
