NPA/RENEW clearance teams on 10 January 2024 located an old unexploded munitions storage site while clearing a contaminated area in Gio My Commune, Gio Linh District, Quang Tri Province.

Team leader Le Thi Thu Ha investigates the UXO storage site.

80 munitions including grenades, mortars, and projectiles.

A total of 80 munitions, including grenades, mortars, and projectiles were found at the depth of 50cm. The clearance team leader, Ms. Le Thi Thu Ha coordinated with NPA/RENEW Explosive Ordnance Disposal team to safely destroy all high explosive munitions in place and transported other items that could be moved to our central demolition site for safe disposal.

 

Team leader Le Thi Thu Ha records the inventory of munitions found and provides the task statistics to EOD team leader Hoang Kim Chien.

Since November 2023, NPA/RENEW has deployed four teams to clear this contaminate area of 480,000 square meters in An My Village. The teams plan to accomplish this task by mid-January 2024. This will result in more land for expanding crops and livestock, bringing hope and security to 882 villagers including 234 women, 258 men, 186 girls, and 185 boys.

NPA/RENEW extend our deepest gratitude to the governments of the United States of America and Norway for continuing support to this critical work. Together, we are making Quang Tri safe from the impact of explosive ordnance.
