In active and old conflicts alike, explosive devices can threaten communities and prevent them from returning home. #MineAction plays an essential role in protecting lives and providing safe ground so we can build peace. #NDMUN27 @UNMAS

Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) is an essential pillar of #MineAction that helps communities, incl. children, women & displaced people, identify and avoid explosive devices. @UNMAS reached almost 5 million people in 2023. #NDMUN27 Full report:

The use of explosive devices in conflicts is on the rise but funds to support #MineAction  are falling short. At the #NDMUN27  Directors' Meeting today I stressed the need for continuous & flexible funding so UNMAS & its partners can carry out their life-saving work. @UNMAS

Explosive devices kill or injure someone every hour. Oftentimes a child who thought it was a toy. They also prevent humanitarian aid from accessing the most vulnerable. More than ever we need #MineAction  to help end the scourge of explosives. #NDMUN27 @UNMAS
