Mines and explosives continued to claim civilian lives across #Syria in October.
Tragically, nearly two years after the fall of the Assad regime, families returning home continue to face the deadly threat of explosives hidden in their homes, gardens, and farmland.
Landmines were responsible for most adult deaths reported during October, particularly herders, shepherds, construction workers and people clearing mines from their own land.
We estimate that explosives claim a casualty every six hours in in Syria, and there is almost certainly under-reporting of incidents.
To deal with the humanitarian crisis now unfolding, HALO has been rapidly training and growing our teams to clear land, save lives and teach families to stay safe.
