Countries: Cambodia, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Source: Government of the United Kingdom The UK renews £1.6M for Cambodia mine action, marking its fourth decade of support. With this, a total of 1,940,000 square metres of land will be cleared. A total of 1,940,000 square metres of land to be cleared of mines and explosive remnants through the renewed funding More than 44,000 people to receive life-saving explosive ordnance risk education Funding supports Cambodia’s progress towards its 2030 mine-clearance obligations Thousands of Cambodian farming families will live and work more safely as the UK renews its commitment to mine action in Cambodia, now in its fourth decade of support with an estimated total contribution of £65 million (over USD 85 million). This year, the UK Government is renewing a commitment of £1.6 million (USD 2.1 million) for another year of mine clearance and risk education, contributing to increased community safety and enhanced livelihoods. Delivering through leading demining organisations HALO Trust (HALO), Mines Advisory Group (MAG), and APOPO; this funding will help clear mines, enabling the safe return of communities and productive use of land in conflict-affected areas. MAG and APOPO will continue to further support the local organisations Mlup Baitong and the Cambodian Institute for Research and Rural Development (CIRD), respectively, to deliver post‐land release livelihoods and sequenced agricultural support. From 2026 to 2027, HALO and MAG’s total land release target is 890,300 square metres across Battambang, Siem Reap, Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Pailin, Pursat, and Koh Kong provinces, directly benefiting 5,414 individuals. This includes landmine, cluster munitions remnants, and other explosive ordnance clearance, contributing to safe and productive land use and improved environmental outcomes. HALO and MAG will provide more than 4,000 Explosive Ordnance Risk Education sessions through a variety of channels, reaching more than 44,280 people, including over 8,000 women and 12,000 girls. The UK is also supporting APOPO and its partner, CIRD to deliver the Minefields to Rice fields (M2R) project, integrating mine action with regenerative agricultural development. From 2026 – 2027, APOPO will release 1,050,000 square metres of land. A minimum of 500 farmer households will benefit directly with a minimum 45% participation of women and 20% youth, alongside an estimated 500 or more additional households benefiting indirectly through seed banks, other project elements, or selected training. The project is delivered in close partnership with the Cambodian Mine Action Authority (CMAA), whose engagement is key to its success. Our collaboration with CMAA helps to strengthen national ownership and ensures that communities are able to benefit sustainably from cleared land in the long-term. British Ambassador to Cambodia, Dominic Williams MBE, said: The UK and Cambodia share a strong and broad partnership, spanning security, development and shared prosperity. As part of this, the UK has prioritised support for demining for over 30 years, in partnership with the Cambodian Mine Action Authority (CMAA), precisely because we believe no community should continue to live in fear of landmines. The scale of the challenge in Cambodia is significant, and continued investment in mine action remains essential to secure safe land, economic recovery and lasting confidence. In renewing our funding, we commend Cambodia’s sustained commitment and the brave work of Cambodian deminers in the field. We hope our efforts will support the safe return of displaced people and strengthen protection for border communities at a time of heightened tension. This renewed funding will continue to help Cambodians reclaim cleared land, working with Cambodian NGOs to support small business development as well as training in innovative agricultural techniques. It is also crucial in directly supporting Cambodia’s progress towards fulfilling its Article 5 clearance obligations under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention by 31 December 2030, a treaty the UK helped found as one of its original signatories in 1997. H.E. Dr. Ly Thuch, Senior Minister and First Vice President of the Cambodian Mine Action Authority (CMAA) said: Still going strong’ is more than a theme. It reflects four decades of unwavering partnership. The United Kingdom stood with Cambodia when we needed it most, and it continues to stand with us today. For 33 years of cooperation have taken us beyond partnership. Today, Cambodia and the United Kingdom are true friends, united by a shared commitment to humanity and dignity. Behind every contribution are lives transformed, a child walking safely to school, a family returning home, a community restored. That is the true measure of mine action. Cambodia is now in the final chapter of its mine action journey. Our commitment is clear: by 2030, no Cambodian community will live under the t Read More

Country: Ukraine Source: International Committee of the Red Cross Conflict can have a devastating impact on the lives of ordinary people even beyond the front line. In regions affected by the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many people struggle to navigate the uncertainty, hardship and loss that conflict brings. For Tatyana, who has spent all her life in a small town not far from Luhansk, the day her adult son disappeared due to the conflict is a mark that will never fade. “I gave birth to my son on 31 December, and last 30 December I marked three years since he went missing,” she says, her voice trembling with emotion. Even though Tatyana has received information that her son was killed as a result of the armed conflict, she does not lose hope that he is still alive. The uncertainty of his fate has cast a long shadow over her family, leaving them in a painful limbo between hope and despair. Despite her grief, Tatyana needed to become a main breadwinner for her loved ones. She cares for her daughter, who struggles with mental health issues, and supports her two grandsons, who are living reminders of their missing father. When Tatyana received assistance from the ICRC for the first time in 2025, she immediately shared it with her family. “I divided everything equally. I couldn’t do it any other way – they are all I have,” she says. Tatyana also sent food and supplies to her grandson, who is studying at university, to help him during his time away from home. “It turned out that my grandson had never tried buckwheat before, but when he did, he loved it! He even shared it with his dorm mates and now they’re all asking him to cook it again. And the razors I sent – he was so surprised. He couldn’t believe I sent so many.” With the help of our local operational partner, the ICRC was able to provide Tatyana and her family with additional help that makes their lives easier during tough times. “This support means so much to us,” Tatyana says. “It has helped me save money and buy other essentials for our daily lives.” Tatyana’s experience is a reminder of the impact that the armed conflict continues to have on people. She is just one of tens of thousands who continue to live in uncertainty, hoping for news about the fate of their loved ones while trying to rebuild their lives, one step at a time. Humanitarian aid is key to helping families like hers to keep going after a loved one, whose livelihood they depended on, goes missing. The ICRC has been present on the ground to deliver vital humanitarian assistance to those in need affected by the armed conflict since 2014. It remains the only international humanitarian organization present in Luhansk. Read More
