Did You Know that Over 270 million cluster bombs were dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War (210 million more bombs than were dropped on Iraq in 1991, 1998 and 2006 combined); up to 80 million did not detonate. Nearly 40 years on, less than 1% of these munitions have been destroyed. Each year there are now just under 50 new death casualties in Laos, down from 310 in 2008.
