PHNOM PENH, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Twenty-three Cambodians were killed by landmines and unexploded ordnances (UXOs) during the first seven months of 2016, remarkably up from only 12 deaths over the same period last year, according to a government report on Sunday.
However, the number of people wounded or limb- amputated declined 43 percent to 36 during the January-July period this year from 63 over the same period last year, said the report from the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority.
Some 50 accidents were recorded in the seven months of this year, representing a decrease of 11 percent compared to the same period a year earlier, it said.
""Sixty-six percent of the victims were men, 24 percent were boys, and the rest were women and girls,"" the report said.
Cambodia is one of the worst landmine-affected countries in the world. An estimated 4 to 6 million landmines and other munitions were left over from nearly three decades of war that ended in 1998.
According to the report, landmine and UXO explosions killed 19,746 people and either injured or amputated 44,892 others from 1979 to July 2016.
The Southeast Asian country is seeking around 338 million U.S. dollars within 10 years to entirely get rid of landmines and explosive remnants of war.

TOKYO, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's Tokyo chapter, Nobuteru Ishihara, said he would resign on Thursday along with other senior members of the party's branch, to account for the loss of an LDP-backed candidate in Sunday's gubernatorial election.
Sources close to the matter said Thursday that Ishihara, who retained his portfolio as economics minister in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday, and secretary general of the chapter, Shigeru Uchida, would step down following LDP-backed former Iwate Governor Hiroya Masuda losing to Yuriko Koike in the race to become Tokyo governor.
"We have to accept the will of the people. I am painfully aware of my responsibility," Ishihara was quoted as telling a press briefing on the matter earlier.
Abe had described the loss of Masuda to Koike, an LDP member who ran as an independent in the election race, as blow to the party, but offered his congratulations and showed his willingness Thursday to work with her on upcoming issues pertaining to the nation's economy and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the pair's first meeting since Koike became governor.
Ishihara is the son of former outspoken Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara, who was responsible for straining ties between Tokyo and Beijing for using public funds to supposedly "purchase" some islands owned by China and central to an ongoing territorial dispute between both countries.
Nobuteru Ishihara had previously thrown his name into the ring as an LDP candidate for the 2014 gubernatorial election in Tokyo, but performed poorly and the top post was thereafter won by the recently disgraced Yoichi Masuzoe.
Masuzoe resigned as governor recently following a massive funding scandal and has been replaced by Koike.
