A Family Devastated by Land Mines in Myanmar: Bu Ri Lost a Leg, Six Relatives Suffered
A man in Myanmar lost his leg to a mine decades ago, and recently six other family members have suffered a similar fate or worse – a sign of the devastation wreaked by civil war.
Bu Ri, who lost his leg to a land mine in Myanmar decades ago, is not the only one in his family to have been harmed by these dangerous remnants. More recently, six other members of his family have experienced a similar fate or even worse. This case highlights the immense destruction caused by the country's ongoing civil war.
Land mines remain a persistent threat in Myanmar, where conflicts between the government and various armed groups have raged for years. The tragedy of Bu Ri's family is just one example of how these explosive devices continue to claim lives and cause severe injuries long after they are planted.
