The Armenian sappers who are carrying out humanitarian mine clearance activities in Syria have cleared an area of 33,400 square meters from February 19 to May 30.

In a post on Facebook the Armenian Center for Humanitarian Demining and Expertise says the Armenian medics have performed 394 surgeries, provided therapeutic aid to 801 Syrian citizens and conducted 1354 clinical laboratory examinations. Numerous children are among those having received medical care, the center said.

“The Syrian people regularly thank the Armenian specialists for this important mission, describing it as a brotherly support. The humanitarian mission continues,” the post read.

As reported earlier, a 83-member group of Armenian humanitarian experts, including doctors, sappers, as well as supporting personnel headed to Syria in early February to carry out humanitarian mine clearance activities, raise mine awareness among the population and offer medical aid in Aleppo exclusively outside the zone of military operations.
