Landmines have been widely used in during conflicts and continue to be used today, often affecting people for many years after a conflict has ended. In 2007 the UN estimated that almost 20,000 people are killed by landmines every year, see the UN news article to learn more.
Here are two videos about how Google Earth is being used by the HALO Trust to aid landmine clearance in Angola and Cambodia. There is also a related blog post on the Google Lat Long blog.
