| 説明 | Text: Letter from YEMAC's General DirectorThe goal of this booklet is to demonstrate the impact landmines and other unexploded ordnance have had on Yemen and to explain the work that the Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (YEMAC) is undertaking to mitigate these effects. In 1997, YEMAC, with assistance from the Yemeni government and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), created a multifaceted program that has since surveyed and cleared more than 721,000 square kilometers of land, educated nearly 800,000 people on the risks of landmines, and established a worldwide network to assist Yemeni victims of landmines, both medically and psychologically. Our work has not been easy. We have overcome significant financial and geographic obstacles. However, despite our limited resources, YEMAC has made exceptional progress. Our Survey and Clearance Performance is unmatched in the region. We have sent Yemeni Mine Risk Educators to every landmine-affected community. Our Victims Assistance Program was praised by the United Nation in its GICHD (Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining) assessments, and we are now sharing the knowledge we have gained, through training we provide to the staff of other mine action programs, across the globe. As the YEMAC project manager, I and the Government of Yemen, the National Mine Action Committee, and the Mine Action Staff wish to thank the donor countries, international and local NGOs, and GICHD for all of their assistance. Without their support, we could not have achieved so much. YEMAC is dedicated to eliminating the threat of landmines in Yemen. To date, we have removed more than 205,328 mines and other explosive remnants of war. Every landmine removed is a potential life saved, and every child who learns about the risks of landmines has the potential to be a saved child and to help to save others. We will work until Yemen is declared free from the impact of landmines, to a considerable extent clearing a path to a better future for Yemen. Monsur al-Azi General Director, Mine Action Yemen |
