Deir ez-Zor – NuJINHA correspondent in Deir ez-Zor reported that three women were killed and one more injured in the Deir ez-Zor desert while collecting truffles by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday.

 On March 10, 2024, the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights (SOHR) published statistics saying that 197 people, including 34 civilians, had been killed in the attacks by ISIS in west Euphrates region and the deserts of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Raqqah and Homs  since beginning of 2024.

People, mostly women, collect truffles in the Deir ez-Zor desert to earn a living; however, they are often being victims of such attacks.
