Overall, approximately 70% of the total land suspected to be contaminated from landmines, including both minefields and mined areas but excluding the Blue Line, was cleared until 2013.

The national Non-Technical Survey (NTS) is an ongoing process that has started on October 2011.
Up to 66% of the Blue Line has been surveyed to date (600 minefields out of 854).
