Impact of explosive remnants on movement

Current value

No figure of ours is published yet. The value is released with its full methodology - and with the response rate, however uncomfortable.

Comparative reference

References we measure against: دائرةُ الأمم المتحدة للإجراءات المتعلقة بالألغام — بياناتُ الحوادث (تَعُدّ الضحايا لا السلوك) - no nationally representative figure with a published methodology exists, so our first wave sets the baseline.

Context figure

Over 1,400 incidents and about 2,500 casualties since Dec 2024; 15.4 million exposed
UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) - 2025 - source

A context figure, not a comparable reference: Counts incidents and casualties; we measure the behavioural cost - land not farmed, roads not taken.
