(Vietnam Plus) The central province of Quang Tri has so far cleared over 25,000 ha of land from war-left landmines and other unexploded ordnance (UXO) and safely handled 765,000 UXO items.
The local authorities have also worked hard to support thousands of landmine victims, and raise awareness of local students and residents of the dangers of mines and UXOs.
Besides funding from the budget, the locality has mobilised over 110 million USD from donors for the settlement of wartime UXO consequences.
