“It was challenging to stay at home”…
“It was challenging to stay at home, unable to walk. I used to have wonderful times with my father, who took me along and taught me how to raise cattle and tend sheep in the mountains when I was a child” says Omar Aziz, a 25-year-old shepherd, who lost his legs after stepping on a landmine in March 2024. Omar received a prosthesis from the ICRC at the Erbil Physical Rehabilitation Centre in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, and is slowly adapting to his new reality with the help of his prosthesis.

“I found a ray of hope”…
As the conflict continues, the number of explosive devices victims continues to rise. “Last year, I felt like I had lost everything after stepping on a landmine,” said Bawk Mai, a 16-year-old girl from Mogaung Township. “Shortly after, I received a prosthesis and treatment at the Myitkyina Physical Rehabilitation Centre in Myanmar. For my emotional recovery, I received mental health and psychosocial support services. I found a ray of hope through the ICRC’s educational support. Now I have the opportunity to continue my education and reconnect with friends and family, ” Bawk Mai added.
