Hundreds of land mine victims and their relatives have staged a demonstration at the Cambodian community of Thmor Samleang in Kampong Thom province to press for better housing, education, and health services.
The gathering occurred on the eve of National Mine Awareness Day.
A spokesman for Jesuit Service Cambodia - Nobel Laureate Tun Channareth - has told the Phnom Penh Post newspaper that the community lacks even the most basic of services, including clean water.
The newspaper reports that the community was established two months ago after the government donated the land.
However, it was not provided any funding for the development of the site.
