Jasmine Dann, a regional operation manager for the Halo Trust, which specialises in clearing mines and other explosive devices in conflict zones, said: 'For the past two days, we have not been able to access any of those minefields and we believe that the majority of them are completely under water.' She added: 'The minefields we’ve been working on are quite high priority. They are areas that people need to be able to get back on to, and so every day that we are delayed, and being able to do clearance there, has an impact for civilians in the area' The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
