Japan donates wheelchairs to Cambodian rehab center

A charity group in Tokyo has donated wheelchairs to a rehabilitation facility in Cambodia to help disabled people, including landmine survivors, and those who are unable to afford one.

On Tuesday, the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh hosted an event to mark the handover of more than 30 wheelchairs. A Cambodian minister expressed hope that the devices will help ease some of the difficulties and obstacles people with disabilities face in Cambodia. 

In Cambodia, landmines buried during a civil war that lasted for more than 20 years still cause serious injuries to residents.
