Survivors of 2018 Dam Collapse in Laos Begin Receiving Compensation

27 May 2020

Sanamxay authorities have begun allocating land to survivors of the collapse. The total compensation to about 1,270 families amounts to 2,140 hectares (8.26 square miles) of cleared land, which they can use to grow rice, just as the rainy season approaches.

"[Authorities] have cleared and improved the land and will give it to [the survivors]", an official of the district [said]....

"If a family has two working members, that family will get one hectare (2.47 acres) of land, whereas a family of three or four will get two hectares and so on. However a family consisting of only one person will get nothing. That person must join another family," the official said.

The official added that in addition to new land, the authorities will improve the soil condition of the villagers' former farms that were mud-covered or damaged by the Xe Pian-Xe Namnoi dam collapse, then allow the victims to go back to their old villages and plant rice on their old land.
