This is a true story. This is a horror story. It isn't for the faint-hearted. But it is a familiar experience for too many people around the world.
Please RT and raise awareness of the work that still needs to be done to rid the world of landmines.

After 15.5 years I am stepping down from @WorldVisionAus
Grateful for the chance to have worked with the most inspiring people in some of the hardest situations our world has to offer
Grateful to our supporters for the impact they make
And grateful that there is always hope
Watch actor & MAG-supporter Rosamund Pike talk passionately about the importance of removing landmines: “With mine clearance, it’s very easy to see what’s being achieved. Areas that are uninhabitable, become habitable again." #AidWorks@DFID_UK#APrivateWar
MAG is delighted to announce the resumption of its operations across #Nineveh Governorate, #Iraq.
A huge #ThankYou to all the Iraqi authorities in Baghdad and across Nineveh, as well as our donors, whose support has enabled our life-saving work to continue.
Great to host @USAIDMarkGreen and U.S. delegation - including current and former congressmen and White House/VP Office staff - at a MAG Iraq explosive hazards risk education session with children in an IDP camp yesterday, supported by @USAID. @MAGsaveslives
.@theGICHD President. “Improvised #landmine use in the Middle East has reached an unprecedented scale. #Mineaction must remain humanitarian and not perceived as a military or political.” We agree and are at the forefront of the #humanitarian and #policy response
The conflict and occupation of Ninewa Governorate in the north of Iraq have left significant contamination of complex improvised landmines and devices designed to kill. @MAGsaveslives demining team in Telsquf, Iraq behind a highly charged improvised landmine #landminefree202
