Yellow sticks reveal the density of mines laid around a former Vietnamese military base at Banteay Srah

Yellow stakes mark where HALO deminers have found and destroyed mines around the former Banteay Srah Vietnamese military base. Mine density alone does not prioritize a site for clearance. However, high-density minefields such as this one are a top priority when located close to villages or livelihood activities because people crossing the minefield face a far greater risk of initiating a mine than on low-density sites.
