Explosive ordnance continues to pose serious risks to civilians in the West Bank. Thank you @OHCHR_Palestine and the Protection Cluster for highlighting our data. Risk education remains vital to keep communities safe. #MineAction #ProtectionOfCivilians
In the West Bank, more than 3,000 items of explosive ordnance were recorded in 2025, with the highest concentrations reported in Hebron, Jenin, Nablus and Tulkarem, according to @UNMAS

Proud to support #AUSSOM in strengthening Counter-IED capacity to protect peacekeepers and civilians in #Somalia. #IED #MineAction
#AUSSOM, in collaboration with @UNMAS, today concluded a 5-day Counter-IED Standard Operating Procedures Development Workshop in #Mogadishu to strengthen the Mission’s capacity to counter #IED threats.
The workshop brought together personnel from #AUSSOM Force HQ, sector -IED units, and UNMAS to develop standardised procedures tailored to Somalia’s security environment. Through technical presentations and working group discussions, participants shared experiences, lessons learned and best practices in IED disposal and route search to improve interoperability, cross-sector coordination and sustainable Counter-IED capabilities.
The initiative is part of ongoing #AUSSOM and #UNMAS efforts to enhance operational readiness, improve the safety of peacekeepers and civilians, and strengthen mitigation of #IED threats in #Somalia. #AUSSOMInTheSectors

#MineAction is more than explosive ordnance threat mitigation. #SouthSudan examples show that true value lies in what is made possible after the clearance work is completed.
