Description
In Myanmar's eastern Kayah state, a short journey to collect rice to feed his wife and children left farmer Hla Han crippled by a landmine, unable to work and fearing for his family's future.
Decades of sporadic conflict between the military and ethnic rebel groups have left Myanmar littered with deadly landmines.
Landmines and other remnants of war claimed more victims in Myanmar than in any other country last year, according to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), with the Southeast Asian country overtaking war-ravaged Syria and Ukraine. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
