UNICEF Aims to Educate 3.6 Million in Afghanistan on Explosive Ordnance Dangers

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has reiterated its concern about Afghanistan being among the world’s most heavily contaminated countries with explosive remnants.

In a recent statement on its social media page, UNICEF announced its plan to educate approximately 3.6 million individuals, including children, on the risks associated with explosive ordnance.

UNICEF emphasizes that through education on the dangers posed by unexploded wartime remnants, the initiative aims to significantly reduce the incidents of injuries and fatalities. This program is part of a broader effort to address the long-standing issue of landmines and unexploded ordnance in conflict-affected areas of Afghanistan.
