Hussein Nasser al-Abab shared his story.

His son, Badr al-Abab, is a survivor who was severely injured in the explosion of one of the millions of landmines planted in the plains, farms, mountains, deserts, homes, water supplies, pastures and schools.

“My son and his friend were among the victims of landmines as his friend was killed in the explosion and my son was gravely injured, needing 125cm of his intestines amputated as a result of the accident.

“He has become disabled; unable to hear and suffering from severe psychological trauma especially since he suffers a lot when having his meals.

“Therefore he rarely eats and has stopped going to school.”

Describing living in Yemen’s landmine contaminated areas, Al-Abab said civilians feel “besieged” in their own homes, are being prevented from going to work or visiting their family members, while students can’t attend school.

Landmines have caused the displacement of many, the disability of hundreds, and the killing of many others, Al-Abab added.
