UNICEF: Unexploded Ordnance Killed 9 Libyan Children in 2023

UNICEF: Unexploded Ordnance Killed 9 Libyan Children in 2023
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On the occasion of International Mine Awareness Day, it’s critical to reflect on the aftermath of conflicts in Libya, especially their devastating impact on children. In 2023 alone, unexploded ordnance (UXO) has led to the tragic deaths of nine children, highlighting the urgent need for practical steps towards mitigation.

UNICEF Libya, in collaboration with local partners, has reached out to 150,000 individuals in the most affected areas across Libya. Through radio broadcasts and printed materials, these initiatives aim to educate the populace about the dangers posed by unexploded ordnance.

These endeavors are part of a broader effort, with 38,000 children receiving direct education on the risks associated with UXO.

On this International Mine Awareness Day, we renew our commitment to work closely with partners to ensure the protection and safety of every child in Libya. The dangers of leftover munitions in post-conflict regions cannot be overstated, and the loss of young lives to such hazards underlines the critical need for increased awareness and preventative measures.

As efforts continue to educate and safeguard communities, the importance of addressing the lingering dangers of conflict becomes ever more apparent. It’s a collective responsibility to ensure that the legacy of war does not continue to claim innocent lives, especially those of vulnerable children.

The fight against the remnants of war in Libya is ongoing, and on this day of awareness, the international community is reminded of the importance of supporting initiatives aimed at making the country’s landscape safer for all, particularly its youngest residents.
