How MAG is working to end the deadly legacy of war in Laos | MAGhttps://maginternational.org/whats-happening/how-mag-working-end-deadly-legacy-war-laos/Laos is the most heavily bombed country in the world per capita and children are still injured and killed as a result of a war that ended almost 50 years ago.
Between 1964 and 1973 over two million tonnes of bombs were dropped on the country as US warplanes carpet-bombed the Ho Chi Minh Trail – the myriad paths through the Laos jungle which were used to supply North Vietnamese forces operating in the south of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
More than 250 million cluster bombs were dropped but over 30 per cent didn’t explode. An estimated 50,000 people have been killed by unexploded ordnance, 20,000 since the war ended in 1975.
