Blast kills deminers in Battambang

Categories: Bonifica perché

The HALO Trust, a UK-based demining nonprofit organisation that has been in Cambodia since the 1990s, said its deminers, PhinNout, 30, and Chhum Chai, 44, died in the province’s Samlotdistrict. An investigation into how the accident occurred is under way in conjunction with the Cambodian Mine Action Authority. According to HALO Trust programme manager Adam Jasinski, who released a statement about the explosion, Nout was a 10-year veteran of the organisation, while Chai had worked there since 2008. The accident comes more than a year after four experts with demining NGO Golden West Humanitarian Foundation were wounded in January 2013 while disabling anti-aircraft ammunition at their training centre in Kampong Chhnang province. SreyChantha, an official in charge of victim data in Battambang for the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC), said the two men were combing the area on Saturday when an anti-tank mine exploded. Sam Som, Samlot commune police chief, said that according to local villagers, the explosion blew one of the deminers 50 metres from the source, while the other man’s body was torn into pieces. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) claimed the lives of 22 people in 2013, down from 43 in 2012. Forty were injured or killed by landmines and other UXO in the first two months of 2014.
