KSrelief Launches Comprehensive Project to Deliver ‘Life Without Landmines’ for Yemenis

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) this week launched the Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance (MASAM), a program committed to making Yemen landmine-free in order to protect civilians and to safeguard the delivery of urgent humanitarian supplies.

More than 600,000 mines are planted in the liberated areas by militias,130,000  internationally-banned sea mines, 40,000 mines inMarib and 16,000 in the island of Mayon.

The conflict has resulted in the manufacture and deployment of landmines by militias causing over 1,539 recorded deaths, injury for over 3,000 and permanent disability to over 900 Yemenis, mostly women, children and the elderly. Unfortunately, these figures are far less than the actual numbers as the national demining program has not been able to identify and register them. At a KSrelief-funded prosthetics center in Marib, more than 195 landmine victims were fitted with 305 prosthetic last year.

This KSrelief-funded project was launched Monday following the Yemeni Government’s signing of an Agreement for Clearance of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of War with Dynashield, in solidarity with UK companyDynasafe. Clearance will be in five phases:

  • Phase one: Consultation, surveying and coordination with local authorities.
  • Phase two: Deployment and the initial execution on safe clearing of landmines.
  • Phase three: Comprehensive clearing operations for landmine removals across at least six governorates of Yemen, including Sanaa, Marib, Aden and Taiz.
  • Phase four: Implementation of rapid-intervention teams to clear critical aid delivery infrastructure and emergency response situations.
  • Phase five: Comprehensive operations management and ongoing delivery of phases three and four.

Dr Abdullah Al Rabeeah, KSrelief Supervisor General, said: “The use of landmines against the innocent people of Yemen has been a despicable blight on the lives of civilians and aid workers across the country. KSrelief and our partners at Dynashield, with the support of the Yemeni government, are committed to the safe and comprehensive removal of these devastating devices. Critically, this project will also clear aid delivery routes to ensure an unimpeded flow of humanitarian supplies. Our promise is a life without landmines for the people of Yemen.”
