Myanmar Family Devastated by Land Mines Amid Civil War

The devastating impact of land mines in Myanmar is illustrated by one family’s tragedy. Bu Ri lost his leg to a land mine in the country decades ago. Recently, the suffering has extended to six other members of his family. These relatives have suffered a similar fate or even worse injuries from explosives. The repeated tragedies highlight the widespread danger posed by unexploded ordnance. This situation serves as a stark sign of the devastation wreaked by the ongoing civil war. Civilians continue to bear the brutal cost of the conflict long after fighting moves on. The family’s ordeal underscores the urgent need for mine clearance and peace efforts.
