The United Nations Mission to Support the Hudaydah Agreement (UNMHA) has recorded three (03) landmine and explosive remnants of war (ERW) related incidents in Hudaydah Governorate in February. In these incidents, one (01) boy and two (02) men were injured; and one girl (01), one (01) boy, and one man (01) were killed. The incidents took place in Al-Khawkhah, Al-Hawak, and Bait Al-Faqih districts, in areas previously documented as sites of recurrent landmine and ERW incidents. In 2024, Al-Hali, Ad Durayhimi, and At Tuhayta districts were the most affected by landmine and ERW incidents, which also highlights the continued danger for the local population in these areas. February saw an overall increase in the number of casualties compared to the previous month, underlining the persistent threat posed by explosive devices to civilians in Hudaydah Governorate.
