The Executive Mine Action Center reiterated its call to the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, Julien Harneis, to resume funding for the removal of hazardous remnants for humanitarian purposes, which has been halted since June 2023, despite repeated communications and follow-ups from the center. This call is particularly urgent given the increasing number of landmine and cluster bomb victims and the complete lack of response to the effects of floods in Hodeidah and other areas. The Executive Mine Action Center has renewed its warning to residents of Sana’a Governorate and other provinces about the dangers of unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the war being carried by floods during the current rainy season – Al Masirah report.
