Cambodia: Land Mine Survivors is a feature story by Ireland 's Paulo Nunes dos Santos now appearing on Gaia Photos.
As photojournalist Paulo Nunes dos Santos explains, "Decades of war have left scars in many forms throughout Cambodia. Mines, the most lasting legacy of the conflicts, continues to claim new victims daily. Unofficial reports estimate that more than 40,000 Cambodians have suffered amputations as a result of mine injuries in the past 30 years."
Further, Paulo Nunes dos Santos says, "International non governmental organizations (NGO's) together with local authorities, are now trying to minimize the problems caused by landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). Until just recently, thousands of Anti Personal Mines were made and sold every day by countries that openly champion democracy and human rights."
Paulo Nunes dos Santos visited Siem Reap, Cambodia, the home of Angkor Wat, and shares the legacy of unexploded ordnance in his photo essay Cambodia: Land Mine Survivors, now appearing on Gaia Photos, a new international photography source comprised of 51 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
