In this undated photograph released Aug. 19, 2018 by the state-run Emirates News Agency (WAM) on behalf of the Saudi-funded Masam anti-mine operation, an unidentified de-miner uncovers a mine near Marib, Yemen. Land mines scattered by Yemen’s Houthi rebels will remain a threat even if the latest negotiations succeed in halting the civil war.

Yemen is also littered with unexploded cluster munitions and bombs dropped by the Saudi-led coalition, including some made in the United States. (WAM via AP)
