- There are an estimated 110 million active mines scattered in over 70 countries - in terms of people this translates as one for every 17 children or 52 humans in our world.
- A further 110 million have been stockpiled.
- 2,000 people are involved in landmine accidents every month - one victim every 20 minutes. Around 800 of these will die, the rest will be maimed.
- One deminer is killed and two are injured for every 5,000 mines cleared.
- About 100,000 mines are removed each year, but until recently 2 million more were being planted each year.
- At the current rate it would take 1,100 years to rid the world of mines. That's assuming no new ones are laid.
- Angola, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Burma, Sudan, Eritrea, Cambodia, Iraq and ...EU's Finland among the countries with landmines
