Children are Nearly Half of All global Landmine Victims according to the Landmine Monitor 2025

A grim reminder! A very sad statistic for at least the past five decades or so.

"Nearly half of landmine victims are children, per the new annual Landmine Monitor report, with many children injured or killed while searching for scrap metal, tending animals, and cultivating crops; 6,279 casualties were reported in 2024, with Burma the most dangerous country for such accidents."
