"When I think back to that time," says Pao. "All I can remember is the fear that we lived with. Now, life is like a tree that gives fruit."
ICRC website, 28.02.2018, Photo gallery: “In Cambodia, the ICRC is providing assistance to people and communities victimized by landmines. The struggling country continues to be impacted by the legacy of war.
In the 50 years of the ICRC's presence in Cambodia, the organization has supported the construction of medical facilities, developing an orthopaedic project helping people like this man receive prosthetic limbs.
Many of the 150,000 disabled people in Cambodia have lost limbs to landmines and face difficulties reintegrating into society.”
