Pic of the day: Mortar bombs help to hold down the thatched roof of this house in Savannakhet Province, Laos. Laos is the most bombed country in the world per capita. More than two million tons of ordnance was dropped on the country during the Second Indochina War. Up to 30 per cent of some types of ordnance did not detonate. More than 50,000 people have been killed or injured as a result of unexploded ordnance (UXO) accidents in Laos since 1964. UXO contamination also remains a key cause of poverty and is one of the prime factors limiting the country's long-term development, preventing people from using land and denying access to basic services.
