Children in Yemen continue to face growing danger from landmines and unexploded ordnance despite a decline in front line fighting.
Recent data shows more than one thousand children have been killed or injured with explosive remnants of war accounting for a large share of incidents.
Children are significantly more vulnerable than adults due to daily exposure and limited awareness of risks.
Economic hardship is pushing children into hazardous work such as herding and collecting firewood in contaminated areas.
Humanitarian agencies warn that millions of children require urgent assistance amid worsening conditions.
Blast injuries often result in permanent disabilities while the healthcare system struggles to provide adequate treatment.
Access to prosthetics and rehabilitation services remains limited especially in rural areas.
Rising regional tensions could further undermine fragile progress since the truce.
Aid groups are calling for increased mine clearance and risk education programs.
Without urgent action children will continue to suffer the hidden consequences of war.
The threat persists even as active fighting declines.
