Most parts of the world that aren’t at war have steadily become less violent and more law-abiding in recent years. Yet there has also been a surge in organised crime since the turn of the century, according to one NGO econ.st/4fIpMUj Photo: Sean Sutton/Panos Pictures

In Gaza, Palestinians can no longer count all their dead. Hospitals, emergency services and communications are barely functioning. Extracting bodies from the rubble is not a priority. The result: many are dying in obscurity. wsj.com/world/middle-east/in… Latest by @Abeerayyoub and I.

The report finds that in 2021 more than 75% of people killed or injured by landmines are civilians - and half of those are children. A stark reminder of the indiscriminate nature of these weapons that claim the lives & limbs of many innocent civilians every year. 2/4 📷@SEANSUT

Few photographers capture the brutality - and humanity - of war more viscerally than @lynseyaddario @NYT, as evidenced by her latest photo essay in #Bucha #Ukraine. The job takes a toll, but "I believe someone has to be here telling these stories so we know what happened here."

Today marks 11 years of #independence in #SouthSudan. Sadly, as many know, South Sudan is experiencing the worst hunger crisis in its history. #Landmines prevent communities from accessing fertile land to farm and safely grow food.

"You could report the mines, but no one would come in those days – before MAG was here."  Antonio was around eight years old, when his father saved his life after he stumbled across a mine while out collecting firewood.

In recent days, Russians have also placed scatterable mines (PTM1-S) on the access roads leading out of Bakhmut to Lyschansk/Soledar/Pokrovske. All roads still trafficked by civilians.
No battles inside #Lysychansk, the city is not surrounded. Evacuation from the city is still impossible due to heavy shelling.  The occupiers are also mining the access roads to Lysychansk with anti-tank mines #UkraineRussiaWar

A New York Times analysis of more than 1,000 photos found that Russia has used hundreds of weapons in Ukraine that are widely banned by international treaties. Russia's attacks made widespread use of weapons that kill, maim and destroy indiscriminately. nyti.ms/3tLhPYn
