London, SANA-The UK has stressed its continued support for efforts to clear Syrian territory of mines.
The British envoy for Syria, Ann Snow, warned in a post on X platform that “Syria is set to record the highest number of civilian landmine casualties in the world’’.
Snow noted that Britain supports the work of the Mine Advisory Group (Mines Advisory Group) MAG in clearing Syrian territory of mines, helping communities rebuild, and enabling displaced Syrians to return home safely’’.
MAG is one of Britain’s leading organizations in the field of clearing landmines, cluster munitions and unexploded bombs from war-affected areas, and recently received the Hilton Humanitarian Award, the world’s largest annual humanitarian award.
The remnants of war and mines planted by the former regime pose a serious long-term threat to the lives of civilians, and Syria is working in cooperation with the United Nations and international organizations to remove them to enable the displaced to return to their homes.
