Donor fatigue guts demining in Asia, as active conflicts draw away funding

Demining efforts in Asia, particularly Cambodia, are struggling due to donor fatigue, as international funding is shifting toward active conflicts like Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan. Deadly remnants of wars, including land mines and unexploded ordnance, continue to threaten communities across Southeast Asia. Demining groups warn that without sustained international support, this unfinished work will endanger people, slow development, and maim or kill residents.
