For 78 years, UN peacekeepers have been on the front lines of conflict, protecting civilians.
Today, many continue that legacy, risking their lives every day in the service of peace.
We honour their service and sacrifice.

Millions are returning home to Khartoum.
But damaged buildings & explosives make the returns unsafe.
Humanitarian teams are clearing homes, roads & schools to protect families.
Funding from the OCHA-managed Sudan Humanitarian Fund #SHF is helping make safer returns possible.

For years, landmines devastated communities without discrimination. Global action helped cut casualties by more than three quarters, but that progress is now at risk.
As these weapons re-emerge, civilians will once again pay the price, not just today but for generations. ICRC legal adviser Fahad Ahmed explains why landmines must remain in the past 👇🏽

Conflict in the OPT has left behind a lethal legacy of explosive ordnance, with thousands having to live alongside these threats.
In 2025 UNMAS assessed humanitarian sites, guided convoys and delivered critical risk education.
The mission continues in 2026.
