RIYADH: Last week, 614 explosive devices were taken out of different parts of Yemen by members of Saudi Arabia’s Project Masam. According to a recent assessment, the total consisted of one explosive device, 36 anti-tank mines, 3 anti-personnel mines, and 574 unexploded ordinances. Since the initiative’s launch in 2018, 469,576 mines have been cleaned, according to Ousama Al-Gosaibi, managing director. The bombs were indiscriminately planted and endangered women, children, and the elderly, among other victims.
Marib, Aden, Jouf, Shabwa, Taiz, Hodeidah, Lahij, Sanaa, Al-Bayda, Al-Dhale, and Saada were all the locations of the demining operations. The program equips local demining engineers with state-of-the-art equipment and trains them. Additionally, it provides assistance to Yemenis hurt by the gadgets. Teams are assigned to clear roads, schools, and villages so that people can move around safely and humanitarian aid can be delivered. Approximately 5 million people have been displaced since the Yemeni conflict began, with many of them being displaced by land mines.
