Explosive Remnants of War Kill, Maim Civilians in Marib After Guns Go Quiet

Overall levels of violence in the Yemeni civil war have decreased since a nationwide truce went into effect in April 2022 and remain low despite the truceā€™s formal expiration in October of that year. Unfortunately, his lull in violence has not extended to civilian victims of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO).

A November 2022 UN OCHA analysis noted that the number of civilians injured and killed by explosive remnants of war increased by 20% since the truce began, compared to the previous six- month period.

The increased mobility that accompanied the cessation in hostilities led to deadly consequences as civilians returned to homes and land littered with landmines and UXO.
