| Safe-play area in Grozny, Chechnya. Although the dangers of mines and explosive remnants of war have become increasingly well known, children continue to be horribly mutilated or lose their lives in explosions. These lethal devices infest many places that people commonly go to and – what is worse – their presence is often not indicated. In cooperation with the Russian Red Cross Society, the ICRC is setting up secure playgrounds in Chechnya. All children, whether resident or displaced by the conflict, can play in them without risking their lives.
