Children are being killed and maimed by discarded explosives in Ethiopia

ReutersAli Asyalo, 14, receives treatment after losing his right leg from grenade explosives during a fight between the Ethiopian National Defence Force and Tigray People's Liberation Front forces, at the Dubti Referral Hospital, Dubti town, in Afar region, Ethiopia, February 25, 2022. Picture taken February 25, 2022.

The health officials did not provide an exact total of injuries by unexploded ordnance in Afar. Around a fifth of its health facilities are not functional due to the fighting, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Ethiopian Health Minister Lia Tadesse told Reuters she was not aware of the incidents of children injured by unexploded ordnance or mines in Afar or the other regions.

Getachew Reda, a spokesman for the Tigray People’s Liberation Front , said Tigrayan forces did not use landmines and tried not to leave behind unexploded ordnance. He did not give details of any clean-up operations. Reuters was unable to get official figures on children injured by unexploded ordinance in the Tigray region because authorities there did not respond to requests for comment.

The TPLF invaded Afar last July, saying it was seeking to break a stranglehold that prevented food aid from entering Tigray and to capture a strategic highway leading to Djibouti, the Horn of Africa’s main port.
