A student has described how parents feared their children would be illiterate after the presence of landmines prevented them from going to school in several Yemeni governorates.

Mohamed Al-Masabi, a student in the Faculty of Education in Bayhan, said that landmines caused extensive damage, after Houthi militias targeted schools and educational facilities.

The student thanked Project Masam for its humanitarian landmine clearance role, describing it as a “life-saving” project that has already brought life back to several areas.

Al-Masabi said that the project’s teams are continuing to successfully and efficiently clear entire areas – which he claimed shows that Project Masam is supporting Yemenis in their ordeal with landmines.
