In #Syria, explosive remnants of war are often hidden in the rubble of destroyed homes and neighbourhoods. In Khan Shaykhoun, three brothers – Abdul, Omar, and Hasan – were playing near damaged buildings when they found an unfamiliar object. It looked like a toy. Moments later, it exploded. Abdul lost his right leg, and his left is now held together by a metal frame. Omar suffered similar life-changing injuries. Hasan did not survive. Their story reflects a wider pattern: children are among the most frequent victims of landmines and unexploded ordnance, often unaware of the danger hidden in everyday environments.
