In the field, with our teams, I have had the opportunity to observe how diff
icult and dangerous demining is, and I have had the chance to work closely with Ban Advocates, these survivors or families of survivors of cluster munition accidents, who endlessly tell us of their experiences: Thoummy, from Laos who lost his hand while looking for food for hi
s family around his village; Raed from Lebanon whose son was killed by an unexploded cluster munition during a picnic organized to celebrate his fifth birthday; young Aynalem from Ethio
...[+++]pia who lost his leg when some cluster munitions were released on his school, and so many others.Sur le terrain, auprès de nos équipes, j'ai eu l'occasion de constater à quel point la dépollution est un travail difficile et dangereux, et j'ai eu la chance de côtoyer les Ban Advocates, ces survivants ou familles de survivants d'accidents par sous- munitions, qui n'ont de cesse de témoigner de leurs expériences : Thoummy, du Laos qui a perdu sa main alors qu'il cherchait de la nourriture pour sa famille a
ux alentours de son village; Raed du Liban dont le fils a été tué par une sous-munition non explosée lors du pique-nique organisé pour ses cinq ans; la jeune Aynalem d'Éthiopie qui a perdu sa jambe lors du largage de sous-munitions
...[+++]sur son école, et tant d'autres.
