تعزيز سلامة العاملين الانسانيين في الخطوط الأمامية
استضافت دائرة الأمم المتحدة للأعمال المتعلقة بالألغام في العراق مؤخرا جلسة تعريفية في أربيل حول الذخائر المتفجرة وصممت للعاملين في المنظمات غير الحكومية وموظفي الأمم المتحدة.
ونظرًا لتغير طبيعة التهديدات، قدمت هذه الجلسة نصائح السلامة المتعلقة بعنصر جديد بالغ الأهمية: الطائرات المسيّرة الهجومية.
إلى جانب عروض السلامة التقليدية، شارك الحضور في تجربة تفاعلية عملية بتقنية الواقع الافتراضي لمحاكاة تحديد المخاطر بأمان وفي الوقت الفعلي.
ان تزويد العاملين في المجال الإنساني بالأدوات والمعرفة اللازمة للحفاظ على سلامتهم هو امر ضروري.
شكرا للمانحيين!
