Every 15 minutes of every day of every year someoneusually an innocent civilian. often a child. or civilianloses a leg or an arm. Large areas of countries like Bosnia. Angola. and Cambodia have been contaminated with mines. The people cannot return to their fields to grow food. collect water. or firewood without risking their lives. Their children are being blown to pieces when they play outside or walk to school. Refugees cannot go home. The Pakistani Ambassador to the United Nations tells me that over 1 million Afghan refugees are stranded in his country. Why? They cannot go home to Afghanistan. it is littered with landmines.
