In February 2010, 11-year-old Daniel Yuval was walking with his family in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights when he stepped on a landmine.

The explosion blew off the lower part of his right leg and injured his left leg. His 12-year-old sister Amit was also wounded by shrapnel from the mine.

Daniel had to have an operation to amputate part of his leg. When he woke up from the operation, he immediately told his mother that he did not want anyone else to be hurt by landmines and said that he intended to do something about it.

Just a few months later he visited the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, and spoke to a meeting of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee.

Now, for the first time in Israel's history, 73 members of parliament have sponsored a bill that would establish a national authority for clearing mines 'that are not required for security purposes'.

Daniel and his father Guy Yuval tell Matthew Bannister what happened and why their campaign means so much to them.
