The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Mine Action Service (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµMAS) has been supporting mine action activities throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) since 2009. Since the escalation of hostilities on 7 October 2023, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµMAS operations have considerably evolved to adapt to the emerging needs of local populations and humanitarian partners in both Gaza and the West Bank.

As the lead humanitarian coordinating body for mine action response in Gaza, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµMAS supports humanitarian partners by assessing explosive ordnance threats and providing guidance to enable safe humanitarian operations. In ceasefire periods, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµMAS supports early recovery efforts, as mine action is critical for reconstruction tasks like debris and rubble removal. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµMAS also collaborates with local and international partners to deliver explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) to civilians, promoting safe behaviours.
