Located on the country’s Red Sea coast, south of the city of Al\u00a0Hudaydah, Dhubab had been a power keg since the conflict between pro-government forces and Houthi militias escalated in 2014. The strategic area<\/a> was liberated in 2017, but was left littered with Houthi anti-personnel mines<\/a> and anti-tank mines, along unexploded remnants of war.<\/p>\n

“We have been working in this area, which is just south of Al-Omari school, based on information from the students about the presence of shells and the explosion of one of the landmines planted in this area,” Rashid said.<\/p>\n

The team have so far discovered eight shells and a number of warheads and other fuses. The team’s work continues to ensure the area is safely returned to the local population, and students can go back to school without fear.<\/p>\n

In the last week alone (16-22 October 2021), Masam teams operating in Dhubab cleared 37,300sqm of land and destroyed four anti-personal mines, seven anti-tank mines and nine unexploded ordnance (UXO).<\/p>\n

Since it first entered Yemen in mid-2018, Project Masam has located and destroyed 282,878 explosive devices, effectively clearing 27,339,657sqm of Yemeni liberated land.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GDrCs5ufCl4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
