Over the last year Clear Path International's Vietnam staff has been working to create a database for reporting on accidents involving explosive remnants of war that are reported to us and to which we have responded to give assistance. These reports are only the incidents to which we (CPI) have responded and are not representative of the country as a whole...That being said, the linked PDF is a basic report on incidents from January 1, 2006 to September 2, 2006. This is the first time we have posted information from this database.
CPI responded to incidents involving 73 different victims ranging in severity from minor injury to death. Ages of victims over this period were as low as four years old. Most of the victims are male.
