In #Yemen, landmines take lives and cut families off from food, water, and livelihoods. In regions like #Hajjah, where hunger is already widespread, every contaminated field deepens the crisis. Clearing land is vital to #survival. #MineAction #FoodSecurity

Long after #fighting stops, explosives and mines leak toxic chemicals into soil and groundwater. These poisons seep into crops, contaminate drinking #water, and disrupt fragile ecosystems, leaving invisible wounds that persist for generations. Read more: https://t.co/stPDrribjC
