Yemen’s ongoing landmine crisis despite ceasefire and de-mining efforts

Enaya Dastor, a 13-year-old girl from Jabal Habashy, Yemen, lost her left leg to a landmine explosion while tending to her goats in August 2023. Despite a ceasefire in April 2022, landmines from the civil war continue to pose severe risks, with Save the Children reporting at least 339 child casualties since the truce. Efforts to clear these dangerous remnants are ongoing, but the scale of the problem remains significant, complicating recovery efforts in the region.
