There is a lot of unacceptable and unnecessary death for people right now. Halo only has 40 deminers on the ground in northwest Syria, but we need at least 400 if we are going to stop these fatalities. We operate a hotline right now, but we simply don't have enough staff to respond to everyone.

When we have the fund, we can recruit people, we can train people, we can equip them with the right machines and the right equipment to start doing this. It will not take that much time. It might need like three to four months to establish our new expansion. But as a Hello Trust, we used to do that rapid expansion and the training in different places around the world.

Exactly, definitely. We are right now visiting the IDP's camps for the people who want to return to their original cities. Our team is sitting down with the children and explaining to them, and we are visiting the schools as well. But the problem is that the capacity, we don't have enough staff to do that because this should be in a massive way.

Exactly, my friend. The problem here is the people, they are excited to return to their homes with their loved ones. They are not aware of the dangerous areas where the fighting took place, leaving thousands of thousands of unexploded weapons and ordnance.

Halo is used to rapid expansion and training. For example, in Ukraine, we had 400 deminers in the Donbass in February 2022. We had to expand quickly and respond to the Russian invasion. We are having over 1,500 deminers of all Ukraine. This was due to the massive uplift of funding for governments and international donors and the private donors as well.
