Emergency minister: Damascus–Deir ez-Zor road being swept for mines ahead of rehabilitation

Deir ez-Zor, Syria ·

Teams from the Emergency and Disaster Management Ministry and defence engineering units are clearing both sides of the Damascus–Deir ez-Zor road, which stretches more than 440 km, to detect mines and unexploded war remnants. Once cleared, the road will be handed to the General Establishment for Road Transport at the Ministry of Transport to begin rehabilitation and widening work.

Syria's conflict since 2011 left large areas contaminated with landmines and unexploded ordnance, and Deir ez-Zor province was among the areas hit hardest by fighting.
