“I’m happy to reduce the chances of death.” Tetiana Nikoforva, 37, searches for landmines with a team from the HALO Trust, near Ozerne, Donbas, Ukraine. Her brother-in-law was killed during the conflict when a shell exploded next to him. ; Ukraine is one of the most mine-affected countries in the world. Almost 2,000 people have been killed or injured by landmines and unexploded ordnances since the beginning of the conflict in 2014. Fortunately, help is at hand. Mine removal experts, the HALO Trust, are helping to clear landmines and their experts are risking life and limb to make the area safe. The armed conflict in the Donbas area of eastern Ukraine, is entering its sixth year and has caused more than 13,000 deaths according to UN estimates. Approximately 1.3 million people are currently displaced in Ukraine, and UNHCR believes it is essential that all children and adults are taught to identify landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERWs).
