A U.S. team including Jonathan Wood, Director of U.S. Mine Clearing Program, paid a visit last week to the Mine Clearing Center in Aden.
The US team toured the different sections of the center and got acquainted with training and rehabilitating operations, how to deal with mine clearing, and means of protection.
The U.S. team was given detailed explanations of the program activity by Fadhl Gharama, the Manager of Mine Clearing in Aden. Gharam said that the mines unit has achieved great success.
He highly spoke of the US efforts in this regard for supporting the center with the necessary equipment and training. The program activity has started in 1989.
The mines unit has cleared around thousands of mines over thousands of square kilometers in Yemen.
