With funding from the Yemen Humanitarian Fund (YHF), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) supported an awareness campaign between March and May 2025 that reached 81,905 people, including 50,514 children, across Alduraihimi and Alhali districts in Hudaydah governorate.
The activity was part of UNICEF-supported Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE), aiming to protect children from the deadly legacy of war.
The Awareness sessions, combined with widespread media and poster messaging, equipped families with the knowledge to protect themselves from unexploded remnants of war.
The campaign explained to children how to spot, avoid, and report explosive ordnance that can pose a serious threat to their lives.
Beyond awareness, support for survivors is crucial. With assistance from YHF, UNICEF also backed the Prosthetics Center in Sana’a, providing prosthetic limbs for 195 children who suffered injuries from explosive remnants.
UNICEF has also worked to support the center previously. In 2024 alone, UNICEF provided prosthetics materials for 500 children to help the Prosthetics Center in Sana’a continue its mission of restoring hope and improving children’s lives.
