Local sources informed North Press that the child, Mahmoud Ahmad Hussein al-Mahmoud, died on Saturday after sustaining vital injuries from the explosion of a cluster bomb, left over from previous aerial bombardments, in the village of Hasraya in northern Hama. They added that the explosion occurred while Mahmoud was in farmland near his home.
He suffered severe injuries and died before reaching a medical point. The area where the incident occurred is considered “one of the most heavily contaminated with remnants of aerial and missile strikes. Furthermore, ” Residents have repeatedly appealed to relevant authorities to clear these dangerous remnants, but no effective action has been taken, leaving civilians—especially children—at constant risk.
In a related incident, another child, Jamal Abdel Nasser al-Deeb, was injured to varying degrees after the explosion of a similar cluster munition in the city of al-Ltamenah, northwest of Hama. Medical sources declared that the child was transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment and that his condition is stable despite injuries to his limbs. By Nayef al-Bayoosh
