During the Vietnam War, the United States bombed Laos 580,000 times, causing many casualties.

There were few casualties in those years, because many missiles didn't explode. Now 50 people die every year, and now 20,000 people die.

During the nine years from 1964 to 1973, the US military carried out the largest bombing in Laos, dropping more than 2 million tons of bombs, surpassing the bombing by Germany and Japan during World War II. The US military has carried out 580,000 bombing missions, which is equivalent to an airplane bombing every 8 minutes. Most of these bombs are cluster bombs. After falling from the plane, they were scattered among hundreds of small bombs in the air. Girls in the sky, flowers are scattered on the ground, and the distribution range is very large. It was not until 1973 that the two sides of Laos civil war signed an armistice agreement that the United States ended its bombing of Laos. According to a UN report, Laos has the largest number of bombs in the world. According to the legacy of NGO war, so far, less than 1% bombs have been destroyed.

The organization is launching a campaign to eliminate these 40-year-old bombs. Obviously, no one cares about all this. This is a land forgotten by the international community. But these bombs have not forgotten their mission and are still devouring life. After the Vietnam War, these bombs killed or disabled 50 people every year, and killed or disabled more than 20,000 people, 40% of whom were children. Some bombs are the same size as cans, tennis balls and oranges. Children think they are some kind of toys. Pick it up and play, and the bomb will suddenly explode. Farmers are also victims of bombs, because they have to farm on the land where the bombs are located to feed their families. In Laos, 80% people depend on land for food, so they have to risk their lives to farm.

A quarter of villages in Laos also have unexploded bombs, which makes a lot of land impossible to cultivate. The whole country is malnourished, impoverished and has a slow economic development. It is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia. Teenagers in this area of Laos are the least developed (due to malnutrition), and 40% of them are malnourished. From 1993 to 20 16, the United States provides Laos with $4.9 million in aid every year to clear unexploded bombs. In 20 16, the United States once again announced that it would provide Laos with19.5 million dollars in aid to eliminate bombs all over the country. Starting from 20 17, the aid will increase to 30 million dollars per year in the next three years.
