UN INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR MINE AWARENESS






Landmines and explosive remnants of war continue to impact the lives of thousands of people each year in more than 65 countries. In 2009, nearly 4,000 new casualties were recorded from mines, explosive remnants of war, and victim activated improvised explosive devices. One third of the victims were children.

I took the images in Siem Reap, Cambodia at the War Museum and Handicap International Rehabilitation Center in 2010.
