The director of the Executive Center for Mine Action, Brigadier Ali Safra, explained, Wednesday, that the total number of cluster sub munitions, dropped in the governorates in Yemen by the countries of aggression over a period of seven years, is 2,827,301.
Safra indicated that the Executive Center monitored and recorded nearly 3,921 victims of cluster bombs until March 2022, including 1037 killed and about 2884 injured.
He pointed out that the Executive Center for Mine Action, with its simple capabilities and limited, has lifted and removed about 60,656 thousand small sub-munitions.
He explained that cluster bombs pose a threat to the lives of civilians and represent a major humanitarian problem, and Yemenis are exposed to daily killing as a result of the use of these bombs.
He stressed that the US-Saudi aggression used the ugliest internationally prohibited weapons, including cluster bombs, bombs and aviation missiles with a wide-ranging impact and negative effects on health and the environment.
He urged the international community to stand to support the victims of mines and cluster bombs, to hold the perpetrators accountable and to put an immediate end to seven years of impunity and horrific violations of international law.
Safra explained that the countries of the coalition of aggression prevented the entry of detection devices and personal protective equipment for the center’s field teams.
