(3) A tragic legacy of the conflict in Southeast Asia is the lethal risk posed by unexploded ordnance (UXO) in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia that still litter forests, rice fields, villages, school grounds, roads, and other populated areas—hindering development and poverty reduction efforts. (4) Vietnam remains one of the world’s most contaminated countries, with an estimated 800,000 tons of UXO left over from the conflict in Southeast Asia that ended more than 40 years ago. It has caused more than 100,000 casualties, including 40,000 deaths. (5) From 1964–1973, the United States dropped more than 2,000,000 tons of bombs on Laos during American operations to disrupt North Vietnamese military supply routes. As a result, Laos is the most heavily bombed country per capita in the world. Much of the country’s land remains contaminated with more than 80,000,000 small, unexploded cluster munitions. Since the end of the conflict, UXO have injured or killed more than 25,000 civilians in Laos. (6) Cambodia suffers from one of the highest rates of landmine and UXO accidents in the world. Over 64,000 Cambodians have been killed or injured by unexploded ordnance and other explosive remnants of war since 1979, with an average of one casualty every week.

Since 1993, the United States has provided more than $3,400,000,000 in assistance to more than 100 countries, including more than $132,000,000 in Vietnam, $200,000,000 in Laos, and $140,000,000 in Cambodia.
