A recently published report by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) revealed that mines continue to pose a significant threat to the security and safety of all civilians in war-torn Yemen.
Without directly blaming Iran-backed Houthi militias, who are responsible for planting mines across the country, the report said that 348 Yemenis had perished in 2020 from the explosives.
The legitimate government accuses the Houthis of planting more than a million mines in areas they control.
Yemeni activists have criticized UN agencies for their unwarranted support for the Houthis in the form of assistance in mine clearance programs. They stressed that the militias are responsible for planting mines and should be held accountable.
