The Fondation Suisse de Déminage in Iraq

Following the outbreak of hostilities in Iraq, the FSD is to make sure that the The World Food Programme (WFP) can safely deliver its food assistance to the those in need as soon as the situation allows it.
In the last few days, FSD experts have entered into Iraq both from Kuwait and from Iran as part of a UN security assessment team.

The FSD has also started to massively increase its emergency stocks of demining gear, including armored vehicles and heavy ground clearance machines. A further further deployment of staff and equipment is planned.
