These mines are difficult to detect due to their small size and design in different shapes.
In turn, Rana (22 years old) did not know that he would not walk on his feet after 2/6/2015, which changed the course of his life forever. The young woman was exploded by a landmine on her way home from university to a village in the eastern Hama countryside. This time, the party responsible for the mine laying was ISIS. The young woman told Al-Akhbar: “I was on my way home. I ran my feet with a mine that was shaped like a plastic box. It exploded in my face and threw me several meters into the air. I lost my legs and some wounds spread throughout the body. ” For the young woman to regain her ability to walk, she needs to have bionic legs installed, and not the kind of cosmetic prosthetics, because the area of her amputated area is large. Rana is waiting for a miracle to happen, to regain his ability to walk, and he hopes that a wealthy person or a charity will make a donation to him, whether local or international, given the high cost of electronic limbs: “One of the parties He gave me artificial limbs that look like polyester bodies displaying ready-made clothing. You can’t get me pregnant, because my amputation area extends from the foot to the top of the knee, and in this case, the cosmetic types do not benefit me, but only the smart limbs, so I took them off and replaced them with a wheelchair “. About his suffering when finding work, he pointed out that, I have a 100% disability and it allows me to get a job without the favor of anyone. Why so much humiliation? We have no rights, just because we are injured civilians. This is the usual response when asking for compensation or work ”, adding that“ there is only one charity that cares about the conditions of injured civilians, and sends them a small sum of money every month ”.
Like dozens of boys, Muhammad (17 years old) was playing with his friends on the morning of Azari 2016, in a neighborhood of Wadi Barada in the countryside of Damascus, until his eyes fell on an iron box, so his curiosity she pushed him to pick it up, and he exploded with it. Muhammad says: “That day, we were about 10 children gathered together, having fun and playing, so I took an iron box and then threw it within a stone’s throw, it exploded and injured everyone, but my wound was serious, I completely lost my sight and they cut off my right hand. The others were slightly injured, and among them was my brother ”. Since then, all of Muhammad’s attempts to find work have been unsuccessful. “I tried very hard to apply for work or financial grants to finance small projects, like a small grocery store, but there is no response, and if there is, it is with rejection, and the reason is that we have civilians injured.”
Those injured by the mines bitterly accept their physical reality. However, what they find difficult to accept is their marginalization and the denial of their rights as wounded, not at all, except because they are civilians, not soldiers. They don’t have job opportunities, they don’t have government benefits and some of them support his family, or he’s the head of a family that needs someone to take care of it. They are left to their own devices with their wounds that will accompany them throughout their lives, in addition to poverty, and the “humiliation of private associations”, if any.
