Land mines are small explosive devices and are deadly and hidden under the ground. They are now banned in some countries. Let's work together to ban land mines in all countries!Here is what wikipedia says:
A land mine is an explosive device designed to be placed on or in the ground to explode when triggered by an operator or the proximity of a vehicle, person or animal. The name originates from the practice of sapping, where tunnels were dug (much like mining) under enemy fortifications or forces. These tunnels ("mines") were first collapsed to destroy fortifications above, and later filled with explosives and detonated. Land mines generally refer to devices specifically manufactured for this purpose, as distinguished from improvised explosive devices ("IEDs").
Many children die each day because of land mines. Please contact these charities to help!
