What is the extent of the problem in central Vietnam?
This region around the former DMZ bore the brunt of the bombing campaigns during the war and is still littered with unexploded ordnance. Every week, someone gets hurt or killed by an accidental explosion. Since the end of the war, more than 6,000 people have died this way in Quang Tri Province alone. At least 4,000 more have been maimed for life. Read more about our Vietnam project here.
