SANAA, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's land is plagued by landmines. Millions of mines, which have been buried across the war-torn country over the years, impose grave threats to the life of its citizens.
Every year, thousands of people, including children, were killed or severely injured by the mines. Most of the survivors need prosthetic limbs to support their life.
As the International Day For Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action falls on Sunday, several children, who fell victim to the landmines, tried out their new prosthetic limbs in a rehabilitation center in Sanaa.
