The Executive Center for Mine Action revealed updated statistics documenting the scale of human losses resulting from cluster bombs and mines left by the forces of the coalition on Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia, since the early years of the war.
Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
In a recent report, the Center clarified that the total number of victims from cluster bombs and mines reached 10,689 during the period from March 2015 to December 2023, distributed as 3,952 martyrs and 6,737 injured, noting that among the victims were 2,504 children and 1,102 women, a serious indicator of the expanding scope of indirect targeting of civilians.
The report confirmed that mines, remnants of war, and cluster bombs continue to violate the fundamental right to life and safe living on a daily basis since the start of the war on Yemen, noting that these prohibited weapons have turned vast areas of cities and rural regions into extremely dangerous zones.
The Center explained that villages, farms, and roads have transformed into open fields of death, constantly threatening civilians and undermining their rights to food security, safe movement, and returning to their homes and livelihoods.
The report noted that Yemen has now occupied a catastrophic position on the world map, ranking as the third country globally in terms of the number of victims from mines and remnants of war. This reflects the magnitude of the humanitarian tragedy left by the years of aggression and places the international community before its legal and humanitarian responsibilities.
