Deadly landmines kill 28 civilians in Arghandab in 10 days
TARIN KOT (SW) – A number of Uruzgan residents, who had previously been forced to flee their homes due to the war, are now unable to return to their homes due to the landmines.
They call on the Islamic Emirate to clear their homes of debris and unexploded ordnance so that they can return to their homes.
“In many areas, mines and other dangerous ammunition still exidt and have not exploded,” said Ehsanullah, a resident of Uruzgan. “No one can return home. We call on the Islamic Emirate to take action in this regard.”
Meanwhile, Uruzgan health officials say that after the Islamic Emirate came to power, a number of residents have fallen victim to the remnants of the war and have been transferred to health centers.
Hussamuddin Ehsami, head of the provincial public hospital, said some of the victims were in critical condition and had been sent to other provinces for treatment.
Meanwhile, local officials in Uruzgan have announced the opening of a mine-clearing facility in the province.
Maulvi Hassan, the head of the facility, said that the initial work has been completed and some areas have been surveyed, and practical work will soon begin in all areas of the province.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has announced that since January 2022, more than 200 people have been killed in Afghanistan as a result of unexploded ordnance explosions. .
