The International Coalition to Eliminate Cluster Munitions and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines found that since 2012, Syria has been the worst country in the world for deaths from cluster bombs.

The coalition noted that Syria recorded the highest death toll in 2021 with an average of 25% of the total number of deaths globally.

The thirteenth annual report, prepared to monitor the use of cluster munitions worldwide, stated that 37 people, a third of them children, were killed in Syria last year as a result of the dropping of remnants of cluster munitions in the past.

The report stated that since the use of this munition in Syria in 2012, there have been no casualties as a result of new cluster attacks in 2021.

The report stated that 13 out of 14 governorates in Syria have been subjected to cluster munition attacks since 2012.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of this year, the Syrian Civil Defense has documented the killing of 23 people, including 10 children, and the injury of 24 people, including 15 children, in the explosion of the remnants of war in northwestern Syria.
