United Nations: Remnants of war Kill, Injure over 1,800 Yemeni Civilians

International

The United Nations announced that at least 1,800 civilians were killed or injured due to mines and unexploded ordnance “remnants of war” in a number of Yemeni governorates during four years.

Reuters quoted the United Nations Development Program UNDP Yemen office as saying in a statement posted on Twitter, “The landmines and explosive remnants of war that have ravaged this country for more than seven years, since 2018, have killed or injured more than 1,800 civilians, including 689 women and children.

The statement revealed that the United Nations teams managed to remove 73,930 mines and unexploded ordnance during 2021.

In the same context, the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeidah Agreement called on the concerned parties to expedite efforts in order to clear mines in Yemen, noting that “mines and explosives continue to claim and injure dozens of people in Hodeidah every year, many of them women and children.”

The Director of the Executive Center for Mine Action in Yemen, Brigadier Ali Safra, confirmed that Yemen is the most country in the world in which victims of cluster bombs have been recorded. Cluster bombs have spread in all governorates and districts without exception due to their excessive use by the Saudi aggression.

Brigadier Safra added that what was extracted from small sub-munitions from the governorates amounted to 3,133,36 pieces of ammunition, while the number of raids in which cluster bombs were used reached 2,500.
