Efforts to settle the consequences of bombs and mines in 2024 will continue focusing on clearing bombs, mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) left over from the war and supporting victims, according to the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA). This year, Vietnam aims to expand cooperation with potential partners and strengthen the mobilisation of international funding. According to the MoLISA, Vietnam remains littered with about 800,000 tonnes of UXO left over from the war. As of 2023, Vietnam had more than 5.59 million hectares of UXO polluted areas, or nearly 17.7% of the country’s total area. The leftover UXO are scattered across all 63 localities, mostly in central, Central Highlands and Southeast region. Meanwhile, the country has more than 7.06 million persons of disabilities, tens of thousands of them are victims of UXO and Agent Orange/dioxin. Since 1975, UXO left over from the war have killed more than 40,000 people and injured 60,000 others, the majority of whom are breadwinners of families, people from ethnic minority groups and children.
