Cambodia has seen 95 landmine casualties in the first five months of this year, with 20 killed and other 75 injured, a report said on Tuesday.
According to the report from the Cambodian Mine and Explosive Remnants of War Victim Information System, from 1979 to May 2011, a total of 63,901 mine/ERW casualties were recorded. Of the casualties, 19,595 were killed and 44,306 injured from mine/ERW accidents.
It added that 81 percent of the victims were men, 8 percent were women, and 11 percent were children.
Cambodia is one of most mine affected nations in the world as the result of 30 years of armed conflict. Mines had been laid in Cambodia during the decades of chronic conflicts from the late 1960s to the mid-1990s.
Cambodia's five most mine-laid provinces are Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Oddar Meanchey, Pailin and Preah Vihear.

sam rainsy should stop fighting and struggling with cambodia. instead, he should advocate and help cambodia to remove landmines from killing people, that's more productive than picking a fight with mr. hun sen, you know! wake up already!
My 13 years old cousin blew up while tending cows in 1982.
None of Sam Rainsy business!
Who is PM of Cambodia?That man is
responsible to clear the mines.
Hun Sen must communicate with his
soldiers and the whole world to help
and clear the mines.
What Hun Sen intends to do is to
kill Cambodians and lets 6,000,000
more Vietnamese immigrants to live
instead.
