In Yemen, where family farming makes up for the majority of food production, landmines and other explosive devices are hampering access to farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tayyar Sulayman Omar Abdallah was on his way to work when a landmine detonated. \u201cI left my home to go to the farm. A mine exploded under my car. My left and right legs were injured,\u201d Tayyar told Project Masam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care and rehabilitation of landmine victims is often long and painful. Tayyar spent two months in hospital following the blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy bones dislocated so they re-created a bone, but it didn\u2019t last. So they sent me two months later from Aden to Egypt where I stayed for nine months. And my leg [still] needs to be fixed now, my joint needs fixing, and so I need to go back [to Egypt] now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tayyar, who provided for his family, said that his disability now means he can \u201conly walk 20 meters and no more than that\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houthi forces have been accused of planting landmines on farms and grazing lands; preventing civilians from grazing cattle, obtaining food or earning money. For many Yemenis, however, Project Masam represents a glimmer of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
