 The ICRC sent five photographers to five countries – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iraq, Laos, Mozambique, and Nicaragua – to document the human toll exacted by mines and other ERW.   The images capture both the dedicated work of those involved in clearance operations and the anguish and resilience of survivors. 

 UNMAS Lebanon and UNIFIL support the Lebanon Mine Action Centre (LMAC) in providing mine risk education to young people across south Lebanon, highlighting the dangers of mines and explosive remnants of war and teaching them how to stay safe in such environments.
