50 killed, including women and children, victims of landmines and security chaos in Syria
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported 50 killed, including two women and 14 children, from direct targeting, stray bullets, and landmines across Syria, reflecting daily risks threatening civilians.
NEWS CENTER — Random killing incidents continue in various areas of Syria, amid the escalation of security chaos, the spread of weapons, and war remnants, which places civilians' lives before increasing daily risks and multiplies demands for imposing stability.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the killing of 50 people, including two women and 14 children, because of the multiple sources of danger represented by direct targeting, stray bullets, and landmines. This toll, in a short period of time, reflects the scale of the continuous threats facing civilians in their daily lives.
The Observatory said yesterday, Friday, November 13, that the attacks launched by ISIS still constitute one of the most prominent sources of threat to the lives of residents, amid the continuation of security chaos and the absence of control. Landmines and war remnants also constitute a silent danger threatening farmers, children, and those returning to their areas, with the absence of organized demining operations and securing of areas.
The Observatory stressed the need for the responsible authorities and relevant agencies to move to take serious and urgent steps to reduce security chaos and random shooting incidents, and to work on removing war remnants and landmines, demanding the opening of an independent investigation to uncover the circumstances of those involved in them, to ensure they do not escape punishment and to protect civilian lives.
