Bu Ri lost a leg to a land mine in Myanmar decades ago. More recently, six other members of his family have suffered a similar fate or worse. The injuries occurred amid Myanmar's civil war. Land mines have caused repeated harm to civilians in affected areas.
The same family has now recorded seven land-mine casualties across two generations. Each incident has added to the physical and economic strain on the household. No official count of total civilian injuries from land mines in the current conflict has been released in the available reporting.
