Since April 2023, UNMAS has:Released over 4.2 million m² of land back for safe useRemoved 30,698 explosive ordnance (EO) itemsReached 340,136 people with life-saving Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE)Briefed 3,154 aid workers with EO awarenessAs millions return to areas affected by conflict, exposure to explosive hazards is increasing. Between January and June 2026, 108 people were killed or injured in 38 EO accidents, more victims than during the same period in 2025. Nearly half of victims were in Khartoum and Al Jazirah, which are receiving the largest share of returns. Children accounted for 55% of victims whose age was recorded. The number of casualties is expected to be much higher due to limitations in reporting capacity and mechanism.New minefields have also been identified in central Khartoum, including at a bridge rehabilitation site across the Nile. In response, UNMAS in coordination with the National Mine Action Center (NMAC) and partners, is implementing a comprehensive mine action response. This includes surveying and clearing hazardous areas, raising awareness to prevent accidents, and enabling safe access for humanitarian assistance and early recovery efforts.
