Demining efforts to restart following US aid waiver


TOPSHOT - This photo taken on February 11, 2025 shows a deminer from the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) examining an unexploded ordnance (UXO) that was unearthed by a worker during irrigation work in Svay Rieng province. Parts of Cambodia are still littered with unexploded ordnance from decades of conflict, and US President Donald Trump's decision to freeze virtually all American aid has seen many long-running projects to clear the deadly debris grind to a halt.

Cambodia remains littered with unexploded bombs, many of which were dropped by American forces during the Vietnam War.
