Humanitarian Demining
Humanitarian demining is the process of removing landmines and unexploded ordnance from areas affected by conflict. This work is crucial for ensuring the safety of civilians, allowing them to return to their homes and rebuild their lives. Demining efforts often involve specialized teams trained to detect and safely dispose of these dangerous remnants of war.
The process typically includes surveying affected areas, using tools like metal detectors and ground-penetrating radar. Once identified, the landmines are carefully neutralized or removed. Successful humanitarian demining not only saves lives but also helps restore access to land for agriculture and development, fostering community recovery.
