vulnerable communities. Houthis planted landmines in most al-Hudaydah districts. The alDurayhimi and al-Tuhayat districts had by far the highest number of reported deaths from
landmines in 2018. The Group of Experts examined 23 incidents, which caused the deaths

adults and 18 children, as set out in the following paragraphs. 872
