Civil war ended in Cambodia years ago, but unexploded ordinance (UXO) and landmines laid by warring factions are still claimingcasualties today, reports IVY SOON.
SOPHY Nun does not remember much of the incident where she stepped on a landmine that blew off her left leg. She only recalls that her instincts were to drag herself away from the scene. The 16-year-old knew she was treading on mined area, but it was a path that Sophy and her fellow villagers had often walked without incident.
